Revisionary. LW has made much stronger statements about MWI than "should be taken seriously" .. it has used the language of "slam dunks".

I am using LW to refer to a community of users and posts; you seem to be using LW to refer to Yudkowsky. I suspect that suffices to explain our disagreement.

There is a danger that the existence of this difference might lead to motte and bailey differences among LWers who do not examine their beliefs about MWI (or their beliefs about what LWers believe about MWI, for a different group of people) carefully.

This still counts as normative, because the community is being urged to follow it, whether they do or not.
