I'd need a more concrete question.
@Brillyant Which part of what Elo wrote is controversial? Also, my examples are fictional, so what sense of "truth" do you mean?
You asked a question generated from the examples; you said I gave "a very good summary", is there anything more you wanted to add to the summary?
Err, now I don't know whose questions I'm answering, so I'll just focus on this part: "is there anything more you wanted to add to the summary?"
You already did a good job of pointing out where the mistakes were, so if I wanted to add something, it would be on the "fixing things" side.
My impulses tell me that besides the "big picture" description, it is useful to identify very specific thoughts or actions that could help, or serve as an early warning system.
E.g., to use patterns from Eliezer's sequences, that are well known to LW-ers:
Response: Sally notices that she is confused, and immediately writes this in her surprise journal. Then she enters a "debug models/cognitive patterns" mode and brainstorms for 5 minutes.
(Note that the above is an example I picked for clarity, not because it's the best one in this case.)
