That's the problem with the internet: "I'm witty and incisive, you're sarcastic and sanctimonious". I'll admit the tenor of my last sentence was out of line; but I stand by the assertion that your psychoanalysis of this group is well off the mark.
Also, what exactly is so awful about a group norm of playing certain games seriously even when for zero stakes, in order to gather interesting information about the group dynamics of aspiring rationalists?
Pretty much nails it. pswoo's initial comment was fairly patronizing itself, so it seems a bit rich to criticise you (orthonormal) for playing along. But whatever.
By way of substantive response. Um, yeah. So, patronizing bits aside, I agree with much of your (pswoo's) comment. I just don't think it was especially relevant to the particular conversation you (pswoo) intervened in, which was about the validity of the standard argument rather than its soundness.
