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 can't believe people are getting so far up your nose about mentioning Jeremy Bentham.

We're not, or at least I'm not, just abstractly debating the perils of scholarship.
