Don't neglect the surrounding context. The underlying disagreements have been echoing about all over the place in the form of "Contrarians boo vs Correct Contrarians yay!" and "here is a stupid view that can be classed as an inside view therefore inside view sucks!" vs "high status makes you stupid" and "let's play reference class tennis".
