I'm confused by your presumption that I suggested doing things that feel very wrong on an intuitive level. Can you please highlight to me where I stated that? Thanks!

I don't think you suggested that thing it felt wrong but I think "shut up" suggests letting the data speak for itself and ignoring how it feels like.

I was using the metaphor Eliezer used here, so I think it might be a semantics issue. The point of using math was to deal with attention bias, as I highlighted above. After that, it's important to evaluate feelings, for sure.
