So you'd prefer to have the discussion about it on OB? I think there are many good reasons to have it here.
EDIT: Replying to a private message, I wrote a bit more about my reasoning: "As I wrote in the post, the link was just apropos to start a discussion about the issue, here, on LW. I contemplated whether to post it as a [LINK] or as a more generic "open-ended question to the audience". I decided for [LINK] because that more clearly reflects that there's no original content in my post. Should I change it to a more generic title? Do you disagree with posting even that?"
Anyone else think LW is over-moderated?
Edit: The cost of excess moderation is an invisible cost, in the form of people not posting interesting/useful stuff because they're too intimidated. There's no good place for most Overcoming Bias-style blog posts here anymore, for instance, and I see that as a byproduct of excessive moderation (and the fact that there's no good middle ground between Discussion/Main).
Overcoming Bias: Was Intrade being manipulated in the last month?
The link is good apropos, but the question that interests me is a bit more general. It seems to me that the apparent failure of Intrade to function as a predictor/knowledge aggregator before the US presidential elections was an important natural experiment. What do you think about the explanations and implications? I don't think it's too hard to discuss the knowledge aggregation issues without being bogged down in the specificities of US politics.
