Unfortunately, that doesn't do it either; you get conspiracy theory type answers instead.
The paper makes a very strong point about how people change minds, and it's not about some personal impact; it's about gaining distance from an ideological community that denies reality, and then getting useful information from people they trust.
It's going to make it a notch harder to prosecute people for bogus charges. The appearance of legality is still somewhat important if the target is cis and doesn't have dark skin.
