It's coerced because, well, just watch/read it. It's the most outrageously coerced police interview I've ever seen. Your post should read:
Of course you can't win when the framing has already taken place and is obvious. The coercion that took place is not even being questioned by SA Guilty camps. Fraleyight is the only one who thinks the confession is legit, although I am still not sure which confession of the 5 or 6 he thinks is the "truth".
The documentary did a really good job making it appear the confession was coerced. When watching Dassey testify later, it's more than evident he is capable of some basic level of understanding that he at times doesn't appear capable of in the interviews.
Also, from reading the actual transcripts, it seems like standard procedures. Not that that is ok or acceptable from a moral standpoint, but I have a hard time seeing the confession ever getting tossed out.
A lot of it truly is perspective. I think two documentarians whose goal was to make the confessions appear as legitimate as possible could do so. Then when rational people ask questions of the techniques, emotion would overwhelm and many of the same people that believe the confession was coerced would be arguing they aren't.
I get it. And don't really blame the "omg obviously innocent" crowd. You spent a good amount of time getting emotionally tied to this doc. That has taken over the rational side for many. Which is why so many rushed to sign a petition without doing any sort of research. The people I most respect is those that ask relevant questions at each step and try to rationally deduce what makes the most sense. There are some that watch a doc and believe these two are 100% set up and almost nothing could ever convince them otherwise. The seemingly most obvious example of this itt is Lost. The tone Lost has is just so condescending of anyone that doesn't agree with him. It really is like discussing with a hungry toddler. Nothing will ever get thru to you or ever make you possibly reconsider.
