Hanson's position being essentially destroyed by Hanson via support that made no sense...

As far as I can tell Hanson does not disagree with Yudkowsky except for the probability of risks from AI. Yudkowsky says that existential risks from AI are not under 5%. Has Yudkowsky been able to support this assertion sufficiently? Hanson only needs to show that it is unreasonable to assume that the probability is larger than 5% and my personal perception is that he was able to do so.

Note that my comment (quoted) referred to the 2008 debate, which was not on that subject.

Think I am a troll or an idiot, let me know, I want to know

You do not appear to be trolling in this particular instance.
