I think maybe I’m not being clear enough about what I’m trying to do with my post? As I wrote to Wayne below, what I’m hoping happens is:
Some people who don’t think animals matter very much respond to RP’s weights with “that seems really far from where I’d put them, but if those are really right then a lot of us are making very poor prioritization decisions”.

Probably those weights end up in a very different place, and then there’s a lot of discussion, figuring out why, and identifying the core disagreements.
