B) Did you even read the site? It is not advocating whipping it out in front of a crowd.
Besides, it would have been completely legitimate to state that this can potentially go bad places because of stupid laws. But that isn't what you did. You did your best to just shoot the idea down entirely. "Go directly to jail...etc" This is not a case of "Go directly to jail." This is a case of "If you do this stupidly, be aware that in some jurisdictions this could lead to potential jail time...etc ...so be careful if you wish to do this."
Thank you for the throwaway quip. It is serving as food for thought for how to further develop the project.
FYI: Your follow-up replies read as highly invested in defending and justifying your "throwaway quip." So, if it genuinely was intended as a throwaway quip, no big, you are failing to effectively communicate that.
