The intuition that "Schelling points" are an at all reasonable or non-bastardized way of thinking about this, or the intuition behind the "this" I just mentioned? If the latter, I did preface it with "naively", and I fully disclaim that I do not have a grasp of the technical aspects, just aesthetics which are hard to justify or falsify, and the only information I pass on that might be of practical utility to folk like you or Sawin will be ideas haphazardly stolen from others and subsequently half-garbled. If you weren't looking closely, you wouldn't see anything, and you have little reason to look at all. Unfortunately there is no way for me to disclaim that generally.
