gg5, eij both have "pros and cons"
new oxford american dictionary (emphasis mine):
pro
[noun]
an advantage of something or ~~an argument in favor of a course of action~~: the pros and cons of joint ownership.
  Comments:
"pros and cons" can also refer to the arguments.

presumably "detractors" was meant instead of "distractors".  is there evidence that this refers to people as suggested?  (temp approve)
