But no one seems to get their knickers in a twist with the M46 solenoid.

I'm not sure dispassionate scientific discussion of this is going to happen.

The post recommending the bypass of the OD solenoid is written with persuasion in mind, to give relief to those do-it-yourself mechanics who drive mainly on the plain and don't find themselves comfortable with electrical circuits.

I'm sure the idea to dremel out the solenoid could have been conveyed without attempting to divide us all into two camps - those who might fear "short circuiting" a hydraulic passage in their automatic transmission against those who fear doing the same on the circuit board in a relay behind their dash.

I don't find anything "silly" about the OD off button on the automatic. But I'm sure we all think the wire under the car could have been better protected.
