It was not you specifically, it was the discussion with many
participants, with several either expressing or assuming the
idea that "no consensus in the US population" necessarily means
that TERM should just give up and not look into this at all.

My point is only partly that NY Times commenters tells us very
little about "the US population".  My bigger point is that this
idea of concensus in the US population, whatever we can or cannot
determine about it from NY Times comments, is not relevant to
the matter of whether TERM should do the work we've been told
they're going to do.
