I also don't expect people to necessarily have good arguments for feeling the way they do. I've read that even judges form an opinion and then backfill arguments to support that argument. If they do it we should probably expect average people to do it too.
But that is a policy decision, not a technical one. It is exactly what should be consulted on.
