Although admirable, this is just an EXAMPLE. We should look at it,
and SOLVE it, in an abstract way; so that we will tackle every
possible policy problem like it without that we have to think of
an exhausted list now.

Ie, if your investigation would show that every country in the
world handles online access to adult materials by minors in the
exact same way, than that doesn't make the abstract problem go
away, we'd just have to think of another example to tackle the
exact same problem.
