Naming Jeremy Bentham shows off scholarship? I doubt that works on Less Wrong. Everybody knows who Bentham is. I just named Bentham to give an example.

But I agree with your overall point, so I'll add it to the list! Thanks.

I know who Bentham is. Anyone familiar with utilitarianism should know who Bentham is, in my opinion. That doesn't mean I know much about his thought, nor have I read any of his works.
