No, the point of the entry was that the monsters who wanted to "prove" that monsters not all monsters deserve to die put a relatively innocent man (Geralt) in mortal danger to do so. No matter what they "say" about just wanting to scare Geralt, their methods are potentially fatal (as anyone who's failed the timing on the rock would find out).
Whether or not "all monsters are bad" becomes irrelevant when even the "good" ones will needlessly endanger innocent people.
Slice and Dice
Is the 8.8 entry seriously noting that it exists while simultaneously complaining about the fact that Gies reviewed parts of it unfavorably, making it a self-demonstrating article?

I think so. And as someone who sort of agrees with the review, it's a bit annoying. Are we allowed to change it to something more neutral?
On the subject of Ass Pull and Strangled by the Red String; having checked both tropes, their entries to this page seem wholly unjustified. If you feel otherwise, please provide direct examples that can be discussed and debated about, rather than making generic claims as such.

The troper who added those examples is a vandal whose been pulling crap like this on the wiki for years. Those examples should stay gone.
Seems like said troper made some questionable edits in general. Took some out.

The Broken Aesop entry seems to have completely missed the point of the quest — it seems to be stating that the aesop is "monsters are just like people — some are good and some aren't" and then says the aesop is broken because... it turns out some monsters are bad? That seems to prove the aesop to me, not break it, especially as the godling notes this straight after you are forced to kill the werewolf in self-defence. (Not to mention, it's also explicitly stated in the quest that the point was to "scare" Geralt, and that they knew fully well he'd survive.)
