For the record, I think the LW team is doing a great job. There’s definitely a sense in which better infrastructure can reduce the need for high epistemic standards, but it feels like the thing I’m pointing at is more like “Many LW contributors not even realising how far away we are from being able to reliably produce and build on good ideas” (which feels like my criticism of Ben’s position in his comment, so I’ll respond more directly there).
