I wonder what fraction of the world's population has the necessary concepts in their heads to believe (or disbelieve) anything even slightly like "some doctors use TDT or something like it". I'd have thought well below 0.1%.
I think they would probably frame a question with similar content as "how trustworthy are doctors?"
I don't think the content of that question is similar at all.
The relevant thing to a TDT person is "how likely is it that there's someone simulating my mind sufficiently accurately?"
"how trustworthy are doctors?" is a question that results in a simulation of a doctors mind. It seems, to me, that many people simulating that doctors mind will be capable of simulating it sufficiently accurately; even if they don't understand (on a conscious level) all the necessary jargon to explain what they are doing.
