When I saw this in the comment feed, I thought "Wow, Steve Landsburg on Less Wrong!" Then I saw that he was basically just arguing with one person.
While I think you're not correct in this debate, I hope you'll continue to post here. Your books have been a source of much entertainment and joy for me.
Bo102010: Thanks for the kind words. I'm not sure what the community standards are here, but I hope its not inappopriate to mention that I post to my own blog almost every weekday, and of course I'll be glad to have you visit.
A monthly thread for posting rationality-related quotes you've seen recently (or had stored in your quotesfile for ages).
ETA: It would seem that rationality quotes are no longer desired. After several days this thread stands voted into the negatives. Wolud whoever chose to to downvote this below 0 would care to express their disapproval of the regular quotes tradition more explicitly? Or perhaps they may like to browse around for some alternative posts that they could downvote instead of this one? Or, since we're in the business of quotation, they could "come on if they think they're hard enough!"
