Er...yes. I was trying to point out the absurdity of claiming "Because I can see a consequence that could occur that I don't like, we should simply never do this ever"

Argumentum Ad Consequentiam is a logical fallacy where you claim that X may lead to Y, and Y is something you don't like, thus X is wrong. But not liking something personally doesn't constitute proof that it is wrong or even that it is bad.
