I wonder how many $5 transfers I would get if I actually tried this sort of mugging on LessWrong. Physical proximity isn't required, after all. Would you, or anyone, actually Paypal me $5 if I made the zillion-units threat? Or is this a case of intellectual acceptance, emotional reluctance?
None, the last time this was done by TimFreeman. And there's no plausible set of assumptions under which paying the $5 is better than alternative uses of the money. See the comment linked to above.
Ah, someone beat me to it, I see. Not a single transfer, eh?
I agree re: the advisability of paying up; Alexei's comment led me to believe he thought the opposite, but I see from his edit he agrees too.
