^ The bolded bit is surely nonsense; there's no "obviously" about it. Imagine if you were talking about the safety of milk, for instance:-

" I doubt any of you even knew these [milk safety] laws existed prior to this sudden hysteria. So obviously it's no where near as dire as people make it out to be [to have milk safety deregulated]."
Do you see how the second sentence is not an obvious consequence of the first sentence?
