I think you should write that post because thoughtful respected participants on LW use the anthropic principle incorrectly, IMHO. The gentleman who wrote great grandparent for example is respected enough to have been invited to attend SIAI's workshop on decision theory earlier this year. And thoughtful respected participant Cousin It probably misapplied the anthropic principle in the first paragraph of this comment. I say "probably" because the context has to do with "modal realism" and other wooly thinking that I cannot digest, but I have not been able to think of any context in which Cousin It's "every passing day without incident should weaken your faith in the anthropic explanation" is a sound argument.

(Many less thoughtful or less respected participants here have misapplied or failed to take into account the anthropic principle, too.)
