I actually like this post and agree to most points you make. I'm not talking about the meta points about steelmanning and rhetoric tricks.
The obvious and clearly stated bias helped me to better insights than most articles that claim true understanding of anything.
I'm not sure whether this is due to increased attention to weak arguments or a greater freedom to ignore weak arguments as they are probably not serious anyways.
Can it be both? Was that effect intentional?
I would read a "Steelmanning counterintuitive claim X" series.
Interesting. Glad it seems to have given some new understanding!
But please believe me, though a lot of the individual points are very valid, I could shred my central thesis entirely.
