You don't see anything wrong with errorchecking a person by asking them?

There's a lot wrong with it, but I think it's better than trying to track implicit predictions based on things Eliezer wrote/did.

Regardless, the much better test of accuracy is asking for current predictions, which I also proposed in the parent comment.
