The reason I used the term "Dark Arts" is that your post cleverly generalizes from unknown examples, infers this to be true for an overwhelming majority of cases, and then proposes this as a Fully General Counterargument that any LWer attempting to revise themselves is merely plugging in "self-doubt" while generalizing.

Your argument effectively proves by axiom that there are very few LWers if any actually using real epistemic rationality skills, and by hidden connotation also shows that we're all Gray, and thus because Gray isn't White our thoughts and work aren't worth any more than those of any random Internet user.

I'm somewhat impressed at how steeply we were downvoted for this thread, though. Perhaps we were instantly pattern-matched to "Troll" and "Naive guy replying to troll" in some way?
