What about rebuttals for positions which are popular on LessWrong? Are they also accepted or is this more like a "Somebody said something which is, by LW-consensus, wrong. How can I respond to them?" repository?

Say, if I had a good article, soundly arguing that LW-style MWI and quantum immortality (alternatively: Polyphasic sleep, paleo diets, etc.) is bullshit, would I be allowed to post it here, and would it stand a chance of being included?

Quantum Immortality is not popular on lesswrong. Considering "quantum immortality" to be "immortality" is a confusion or an inflationary use of the term.
