you said you spoiled it, but I notice no actual description of NBT

What he actually said was

if you have been reading LW for a while and have been passionate about improving your rationality, yet you failed to notice so far how good an opportunity MoR is ... I just spoiled it for you

Ergo, spotting that MoR is awesome was a test, and we flunked it. Because apparently we failed to notice that MoR is awesome.

... or something like that.

What he's claiming isn't that the rest of us failed to notice that MoR is awesome, but that the rest of us failed to notice that MoR is awesome as a series of puzzle-solving rationality exercises.
