It wasn't intentional, but I wish it had been! Do other people get this sense? I believe I'd like to sound more like Eliezer. :)
It's clear, emphatic, fairly precise, and doesn't dance around the point it's trying to make - but without presenting too many ideas in too short a space. It's how you write if you're being careful to be understood and interesting. Most writing I encounter isn't like this at all -- computer scientists largely can't write -- and so it does have a family resemblance to Eliezer's writing.
Your voices are different enough that I don't think I'd confuse them.
