This line of reasoning has been used several times already, including by 
you.

I have to point out that it is an invalid argumentative tactic: 

You are *assuming* that you are right, and then accuse me of blocking 
progress, and of wasting your time with the discussion; and then you demand 
that I give in, based on it. 

It is easy to make the mistake of overlooking that this is an invalid 
tactic, based on a circular reasoning fallacy. 

But if used deliberately, it is abusive behavior -- namely a form of 
bullying. As I wrote 
in https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/35404#issuecomment-1563435455, "Sage 
is a mature project that is developed in the open and in which also all 
decision making takes place in the open. Users and developers who decide to 
engage with a project such as Sage know that this is always a long-term 
investment on their side. They need to be able to trust that the project 
makes decisions in a meaningful, responsible way, which reduces their 
perceived risk in making this investment."
