Presumably thanks to the fact that both sides have accurately converged onto the truth

I think that Eliezer basing 1/4 of The Sequences on articles from the MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences / Judgment under Uncertainty had a lot to do with it.

Between those and Jaynes' Probability Theory, Pearl's Causality, and Drescher's Good and Real you have quite a lot of it.

AIUI Eliezer didn't actually read Good and Real until the sequences were finished.
