Executed in what sense?

  • Lumifer already called out sight as yet another instance of Eugine, well before this post existed.
  • The mere fact that sight is arguing for "HBD" here can't be very strong evidence of his Euginicity, since there are plenty of other people in the discussion who are fairly clearly in agreement with HBD[1] and who are very unlikely to be Eugine.
  • The main effect this post seems to have had on sight is that he has gained a lot of karma[2] from his comments on it.

[1] For the avoidance of doubt, I do not intend any sort of value judgement when I say that.

[2] If sight == Eugine, and if widespread suspicions about Eugine are correct, then the karma gain may be mostly from sockpuppets. (I am personally not as sure that Eugine is upvoting himself with sockpuppets as some other LWers appear to be, though I wouldn't be surprised if he were.)
