That other airrports allowed them is irrelevant. different places have different rules. Taipei is none of Australia , USA or Japan so would not expect that to hold any weight. There are, for example, surgical items with rounded blades - and this is different to having rounded tips

I did indicate that the experience at other airports failed to impress - which you implied agreement with with your “irrelevant” remark. The security guy wanted to show that “rounded blades” were OK and sharp blades were not - by cutting a piece of paper (which is a design feature of scissors). Had the scissors failed to cut a piece of paper, then they would have been OK. I should mention that the scissors were about 5 cm long with rounded ends.
