All of the physicists I named, except Hartle, have raised concerns about the Boltzmann brain problem threatening observational cosmology. Hartle has argued against the SSA, so he thinks Boltzmann brains aren't problematic. I probably shouldn't have included his name in the list. Still, the fact that he has published on the issue suggests that he regards it as more than just nonsense.
