For instance, I should probably have included a section about measurability bias, which does seem plausibly quite bad.

This does show up in the poor cause choices section, and I'm not sure it deserves a section of its own (though I do suspect it's the most serious reason for poor cause selection, beyond the underlying population ethics being bad).
