Look, this isn't personal. I am sympathetic to your overall effort to gain a better understanding of SIAI's workings and how to contribute to existential risk in general, and talking to other experts can't be a bad idea. All I had to say is what I said in my first comment. I think that one of the best things we are supposed to do for each other here on LW is to correct each other's thinking when we make a unwarranted step. So don't remove parts to pacify me, as I have no anger to speak of. Only do so if you actually change your mind.
