No one is arguing for a cashless society though?
I'm sure someone, somewhere is. The bigger problem is that society seems to be moving in that direction without first having a serious debate about whether it's a good idea.
I take a hard line and hold the position that, if you're in business, you should be required to accept legal tender (maybe only up to a threshold where Know Your Customer laws kick in). There's a strong social value in there being spaces for unmonitored transactions.

That comment is implying that the statements made in the post are incorrect, not that a cashless society is desirable.
That's not an argument for a cashless society.
