Thanks, Eliezer! I knew who XiXiDu is. (And if I hadn't, I think the content of his posts makes it easy to infer.)
There are a variety of reasons I find this discussion useful at the moment, and decided to stir it up. In particular, ground-floor disputes like this can be handy for forcing me to taboo inferential-gap-laden ideas and to convert premises I haven't thought about at much length into actual arguments. But one of my reasons is not 'I think this is representative of what serious FAI discussions look like (or ought to look like)', no.
Glad to hear. It is interesting data that you managed to bring in 3 big name trolls for a single thread, considering their previous dispersion and lack of interest.
