No. People prefer buffs over nerfs because of the associated connotations. The term "buff" has positive connotations while the term "nerf" has negative connotations. In other words people feel buffs are good and nerfs are bad even if they would not fix the problem.

Much of the disagreement is about what is causing the known problem (a performance gap between the three tanks). Some see it as the Warrior over-performing as a tank while others see it as the Paladin (and to a lesser extent the Dark Knight) under-performing.

If the cause is Warrior over-performance then the best solution would be to reduce the Warrior's ability to perform, but that would require nerfs (which are "bad") so people prefer to avoid thinking about this possibly.

If the cause is Paladin/Dark Knight under-performance then the best solution would be to improve Paladin/Dark Knight ability to perform, and as this would require buffs (which are "good") so people want to focus on this possibility.
It's like saying you should turn a fully functional hammer into a screw driver so that the other screwdrivers don't feel bad about being excluded from a hammer job.
Bad analogy. A better one for the current situation is that the Warrior is a Combination Powered Circular Saw, Dark Knight is a Crosscut Push saw and Paladin is a Ripping Pull Saw.

The Crosscut and Ripping saws are better when doing the cuts that they specialize in, but the Crosscut has a bit more "oomph" because of it being a push saw. The Circular Saw on the other hand is just outright better at cutting.
