Why can't conceptual analysis be regarded as "Coherent Extrapolated Cognition"? Just because people are vague in their thinking doesn't mean that clarity is a vice.
ETA: I'm going to try to stay away from LW for at least a month, in the hope that this sequence will be finished by the time I revisit. I know I'm going to fundamentally disagree with a lot of it, but better to wait until it's done rather than quarrel with it piecemeal.
You're going to skip the whole sequence? As long as your quarrels relate to the substance, why not share? If there are problems with the material presented, I'm sure the rest of us would rather hear them than assume the material is problem-free.
Or do you mean you'll give us a rebuttal when the sequence is done?
