Eh my point wasn't really to even disagree that "divorce isn't always bad for kids" it's to point out where Oster always puts her emphasis -- which is almost _always_ in the direction of "it will be fine" and almost never in the direction of "actually maybe there _are_ negatives associated with divorce and putting a 6 week old baby in daycare for 14 hours a day, and you should be aware of them so that you can mitigate them as best you can if you find yourself in a situation where that is genuinely the right choice."
My point is just that she has a clear bias -- for example, she will say things "we have absolutely no evidence for anything involving how long breast milk lasts safely in the fridge, don't worry be happy" and just ignore the fact that we have generations of data about how long for example cow's milk is safe for in the fridge and that there do exist studies she _doesn't_ that when take it in combination with existing information, and that the FDC and CDC probably aren't literally making up numbers out of thin air. Unfortunately, when I was writing this article I couldn't find Instagram post where that happened, so I didn't use that example.
She's anti-safetyist which is great, and she's done a lot of useful things for moms in pushing back on insane paranoia, just think that her incentives push her toward that rather than her being a truly neutral giver of advice.
