Thanks for comment! I had actually struggled to keep it from ballooning, and ended up leaving off the part where I applied it to Haidt's work, but then decided I wasn't familiar enough with it to do it justice.

Re 3 and 4, I thought I made clear that SAMELs are not consciously recognized as such by humans, e.g. in the Drescher quote, and when I mentioned that careful self-reflection came late in evolutionary history. However, they do feel differently to act on.
