You're discounting the reasoning showing that Eliezer's behavior is consistent with him being a good guy and claiming that it is merely a distraction. You haven't justified those statements -- they are supposed to be "obvious".
What do you think you know and how do you think you know it? You make statements about the real motivations of Eliezer Yudkowsky. Do you know how you have arrived at those beliefs?
I don't recall seeing any such reasoning.
Did I? Where? What I am pretty sure I have expressed is that I distrust all self-serving claims about real motivations. Nothing personal - I tend to mistrust all claims of benevolence from powerful individuals, whether they be religious leaders, politicians, or fiction writers. Since Eliezer fits all three categories, he gets some extra scrutiny.
