LOL. Word inflation strikes again with a force of a million atomic bombs! X-)

Knowing About Biases Can Hurt People has already been linked in this thread here. It seems to be the steelman of tailcalled's position and I suggest you argue against it instead of trying to score cheap points by pointing out how tailcalled uses "wrong" words to express himself.

I am not much concerned about "wrong" words other than that it might generate misunderstanding and confusion, but it does seem to me that I and tailcalled have real (not definitional) differences and disagreements.

I suggest you argue against it.

I argue with live, present people. If you want to point out the many ways in which I'm wrong, jump in :-) But I am not going to argue with texts -- among other things, they don't answer back.
