I'm sad you've entirely misunderstood my point. I thought it was obvious.
The point is, no matter how sure you are that you're right, you might still be wrong. If you suppress opposing viewpoints, you're also suppressing any evidence that you might be wrong.
There are also people who know they're wrong - they suppress dissent because the truth will remove the power they enjoy.
Nobody likes being wrong. It's soooo much easier to just suppress any hint of being wrong.
The only way we'll know the truth is to allow dissent. Suppression of dissent is what tyrants do.

My viewpoint is that your reasoning is incredible naive, well into the area of stupidity.
