Comment on What comes before rationality

This is an interesting point. However, given that people seldom have interest in random strangers, this really doesn't seem that worrisome.

If I were particularly dedicated to finding out, say, the name of the roommate of someone I don't know on the internet's roommate, this'd give me a decentish pointer. It'd still be really hard.

If I actually met the subject of this person and wanted to find out personal details about her life, I'd need to know specifically about this post and the author's relation to the subject. Otherwise, it seems quite hopeless.

At the very least though, she could have been more vague on their relationship, as it would have minimized any such risk and cost the post nothing.
