These are all great considerations! However, I think that it’s perfectly consistent with my framework to analyze the total costs to avoiding a harm, including harms to society from discouraging true beliefs or chilling the reasoned exchange of ideas. So in the case you imagine, there’s a big societal moral cost from the peers’ reactions, which they therefore have good reason to try to minimize.
This generalizes to the case where we don’t know whose moral ideas are true by “penalizing” (or at least failing to indulge) psychological frameworks that impede moral discourse and reasoning (perhaps this is one way of understanding the First Amendment).
