shminux: Thanks so much for compiling these notes and quotes! But I should say that I thought the other LW thread was totally fine. Sure, lots of people strongly disagreed with me, but I'd be disappointed if LW readers didn't! And when one or two people who hadn't read the paper got things wrong, they were downvoted and answered by others who had. Kudos to LW for maintaining such a high-quality discussion about a paper that, as DanielVarga put it, "moves in a direction that's very far from any kind of LW consensus."
