I don't disagree with what you've written, but I don't think it applies here. The situation is very asymmetric: unlike Nate Soares and Robby Bensinger, this isn't my area of expertise -- or at least, I'm not a MIRI-affiliated researcher writing posts about it on LW. Any objection I can raise ought to have been thought of and dispensed with already. I really do think that it must be the case that either I'm being particularly obtuse and crankish, or I'm mistaken about the caliber of the work on this topic.
