I think the problem here is that your posting style, to be frank, often obscures your point.

I acknowledge this. But it seems to me that the larger problem is that Eliezer simply doesn't know how to read what people actually say. Less Wrong mostly doesn't either, and humans in general certainly don't. This is a very serious problem with LW-style rationality (and with humanity). There are extremely talented rationalists who do not have this problem; it is an artifact of Eliezer's psychology and not of the art of rationality.
