Good ^_^
Did you notice that the section criticising efficiency fully general counterarguments... was itself a fully general counterargument?
Hmm, no, I don't see that. If anything, that section is more of a straw-man. It cautions against excessive obsession with collecting data -- which can be a real problem -- but it assumes that collecting data is the only thing that efficiency is all about (as opposed to actually achieving your true goals).
