Well the position of "marginally" in the sentence above may be contested 
by some.

I think this opinion is very unlikely to enjoy popularity. We actively 
/want/ to make Phobos more stable, so using the argument that it's not 
yet stable to add more instability is sure to fit the pattern of some 
list of fallacies. Besides, the corresponding benefits (the best solid 
argument that could be constructed) are at least according to some not 
that large to justify the cost of breakage.
