Looking back today, the improvement seems smaller than I thought then, and LW seems to have played a smaller role in it.

Hmm. Thanks for that update.

I had been considering earlier today that since I started reading lesswrong I noticed a considerable increase in my ability to spot and discern bullshit and flawed arguments, without paying much attention to really asking myself the right questions in order to favor other things I considered more important to think about.

Reading this made me realize that I've drawn a conclusion too early. Perhaps I should re-read those "epiphany addiction" posts with this in mind.
