I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that it wasn't until sometime last month that I realized that, obviously, different people prefer each style, and Eliezer and I were both falling prey to the typical mind fallacy.

Maybe say a little more about the evidence for this? Have you had conversations with people that confirmed this, or is it just coming from a strong prior?

I've now spoken to dozens of people who definitely prefer my style, dozens who definitely prefer Eliezer's style, and dozens who are somewhere in-between.

And the universe of styles isn't even defined by these two poles.
