That's a very good summary of Caves' argument, thanks for providing it.
EDIT: I upvoted you, but now I see someone else has downvoted you. As with me, no reason was given.
I am new here at LW. I thought it would be a place for rational discussion. Apparently, however, this is not a universally held belief here.
There's a pretty good level of rational discussion here, better than in most online fora I know of.
Some people are pretty trigger-happy with the downvotes (and some get so worked up over political disagreements that they will go back and downvote many random unrelated comments of yours from the past -- but that's near-universally agreed to be bad and tends to get them banned eventually) but nowhere's perfect. And I think the majority of downvotes are genuinely deserved, though I can't see how anything in this thread deserves them.
