It is incredible sad that your comment is at 0 and a bunch of fallacious accusations by gwern are at +20.

I hate fallacious arguments by gwern at least as much as the next guy but in this particular instance they were straightforward enough.

...in this particular instance they were straightforward enough.

I happily admit when I see a straightforward argument. As for example his argument about double-counting probabilities. I have been simply wrong there. But the rest of the comment was not even close to constituting a good argument against anything I wrote in the OP and some of it were just straw men.
