Surely 'Methods is the Rationality book' is the conclusion, and "If you're having trouble writing, the last thing you need is another book, competing for your attention" is the evidence?
Surely not.
I refer to the quotes and context. Alicorn made a claim 'this is not generally true' with a specific quote included. You directly contradicted that. You are wrong and Alicorn is right.
I am largely indifferent to the role your claim makes for your 'MoR is the book idea'. It is just wrong.
Sorry, despite this joke having been somewhat derailed, I don't understand what you mean.
I gave the line about not wanting distractions as evidence for MoR being the book; Alicorn pointed out this was silly. I'm not sure where you think I contradicted her (unless you mean by saying, "But my theory is interesting; how can the supporting evidence not be true?!", I didn't reply to her, except to ask a question, let alone respond), or why we're pursuing this conversation.
