Another fallacy...

The delegates to the Article V convention (at least in GA) are BOUND BY STATE law with SEVERE penalties for proposing or discussing ANYTHING other than what we have charged them with...

Again, READ!

The states will not send schlubs off the street, nor even representatives to the convention.

States will send delegates. These agents of the states will have commissions that delineate exactly what they are authorized to do.

For example, Here is the summary of Florida's bill:

<>Article V Constitutional Convention: Establishes qualifications of delegates & alternate delegates to Article V constitutional convention; provides for appointment of delegates by Legislature; authorizes Legislature to recall delegate & fill vacancy; authorizes presiding officers to call special legislative session to carry out certain provisions relating to appointments; requires delegates to sign oath; provides for instructions to delegates; establishes circumstances under which convention vote is declared void; provides circumstances under which delegate's appointment is forfeited; establishes circumstances under which application to call Article V convention ceases to be continuing application & is deemed to have no effect; provides penalties; establishes delegate advisory group.<>

The process will be under tight state control.
