Meaning my reasoning skills would be advanced by reading something? So I made an error? Yes, I did. That's the point.
The comment you are replying to is a reductio ad absurdum. I was not endorsing the claim that it follows that a paperclip truck probably overturned. I was showing that logical equivalence is not the same as causal ("counterfactual") equivalence.
More generally, are you interested in increasing your intelligence, or do you think that would be a distraction from directly increasing the number of paperclips?
