In my opinion, the strength of the AI risk argument derives 30% from the actual argument, and 70% from the failure of counter-arguments.

The most salient example of this phenonemon for me was the FOOM debate. Eliezer's arguments were unremarkable wile Robin Hanson's argument in both the posts and the comments did an admirable job of supporting Eliezer's position.
