Okay, I have rented Huemer’s book on Kindle (because $22+ seemed too pricey, for now) and I presume that quibbles over Thesis #6 are resolved there. But maybe not, so maybe I am accepting the dare, depending on what is meant by “punish” and what is meant by “enforce.” If something as small as expressing mild disapproval counts as punishment, then I do not dare to contest the thesis, so long as “enforcing” means something like ‘voluntarily and knowingly engaging in action that directly assures that the extremely unjust law is executed with substantial consequences to the victim.’ Otherwise, there is the problem of punishing coerced compliance with the enforcement system. In fact, now that I think of it, coerced compliance may also mean that Thesis #5 is disputable, too.
