My guess? "Behavorial consequences" is not really the touchstone of truth under the Correspondence Theory, so EY's use of the phrase when trying to persuade us of the Correspondence Theory of Truth leaves him open to criticism. EY's response is to deny any mistake.

Ok, I think both you and Carl read more of an implied argument into Eliezer's mention of that particular fact than I did.
