Commenting in this thread, on this post, and it's unrecognizable to someone that the effects of cryonics on the value of life is what's being discussed? I'm not buying it.

I don't find it contrary to expectation that someone might get caught up in the discussion of the concrete scenario presented to them and ignore the more abstract issue prompting the scenario. Furthermore, the Recent Comments page makes it easy for people to jump into the middle of a conversation without necessarily reading upthread (e.g., Vladimir Nesov today).
