GP asserts that what the engineers did is wrong. They didn't say that the public should get to decide what codenames to use or anything like that. They simply pointed out the arrogance of the engineers, and they are right.

It's like a straw man, but specific to issues of morality.

"X is wrong".

"Oh, so you want to jail every offender of X? You want to completely regulate Y in case it leads to X?"

You just don't know what a fallacy is.

> Oh, so you want to jail every offender of X?

This is not what I'm saying. I'm disagreeing, and putting forward a stronger, opposite claim.
