Clearly, Eliezer publishing technical papers would improve SI's credibility. I'm just pointing out that this doesn't mean that publishing papers is the best use of Eliezer's time. I wasn't disagreeing with you; just making a different point.

Publishing technical papers would be one of the better uses of his time, editing and formatting them probably is not. If you have no volunteers, you can easily find a starving grad student who would do it for peanuts.

Well, they've got me for free.

You must be allergic to peanuts.

Not allergic, per se. But I doubt they would willingly throw peanuts at me, unless perhaps I did a trick with an elephant.

I'm not disagreeing with you either.
