I excoriate people for posing false dilemmas all the time. I agree this a
First World problem, but I'd say it's not totally a false dilemma because
the choice you're suggesting involves "sacrificing" something
that many people value. Yes, I could live without the SyFy and TCM
channels -- and probably even be a better person for it -- but it's not
the same kind of false dilemma as, say, choosing between paper or plastic
bags.<br><br>
