"Holden should respect our difficult-to-explain expertise just as we ask others to respect Holden's"

That is not an actual quote, and I think it misrepresents Eliezer's actual point, which is that the problem of FAI, like finance and philanthropy, involves pitfalls that you can fall into without even realizing it and it is worthwhile to have full time professionals learning how to avoid those pitfalls.

Fair enough (I didn't mean to represent it as an exact gloss), but obviously my quoted paraphrase actually represents the meaning as I took it (or rather, some pattern-matching part of me that I wouldn't stand by, but feel comfortable projecting onto the "public").
