It may be because I haven't slept in 30 hours, but I'm having a hard time interpreting your writing. I've seen you make some important insights elsewhere, and I occasionally see exactly what you're saying, but my general impression of you is that you're not very good at judging your audience and properly managing the inferential distance.
You seem to agree with me to some extent in this discussion, or at least we don't seem to have a crucial disagreement, and this topic doesn't seem very important anyway, so I'm not necessarily asking you to explain yourself if that would take a long time, but perhaps this can serve as some constructive criticism thrown at you in a dark corner of a random thread.
As a meta question, would this sort of reply do better as a PM? What are the social considerations (signaling etc) with this sort of response? I don't know where to even start in that train of thought.
English is not my first language and you haven't slept in 30 hours, that reliably adds up to mutual incomprehension.
Yes, I think it is better in pm. People who read the recent comments would prefer that, i think. The public talks are particularly difficult because e.g. I am inclined to defend the notion that my English is good enough, while you are inclined to defend the notion that non-sleep in 30 hours doesn't impair your reading comprehension substantially. I'll reply in PM.
FWIW I understood his point. I normally put comments like yours in comments, not PMs, but I haven't done a thorough analysis either.
