I appreciate the link, but I wish that you would comment more than that. Eliezer's post is is excellent and topical. It's directly relevant as a source for discussion here. I appreciate you linking it, because I was going to look up that very post directly after reading this one by JesseGalef. It is definitely good for you to link to it and I upvoted appropriately.

However, if I were the OP, I think that I would be hurt reading your response. Having put work into a post including original cites and examples, I could easily interpret your post as dismissing mine as inferior or worthless compared to his. I don't think you intended to do so, but I fear you may be defecting by accident. In the long run, a culture like this could impact people's willingness to make new posts.

I like when others come up with independent identical conclusions; it makes our understanding stronger as a whole. I also like when people link to other posts so that we can share our points of reference, as you've done. I just wish that when people do the latter, they also take care to also encourage the former at the same time.
