Even if you (even strongly) support EA, I don't know how we could justify this being at 80%. e.g. I probably agree with people who would want to minimize animal cruelty during the Renaissance, but all 3 of them could hardly be considered a "beneficial movement" for me to look back on because, well, the movement part didn't really...

This question is really "will people see EA as beneficial" AND "will EA be a really really big thing in the historical record."
