No; for me LW is mostly useful for noticing bullshit and cutting it away from my thoughts. When LW says someone's wrong, we may or may not be right; but when LW says someone's saying bullshit, we're probably right.

I couldn't agree more. The "extra nerdy folks know exactly why the question is useless" theme is similarly incisive.
