Exactly. This is criticism intelligent enough that it requires an intelligent response to be meaningful. It falls far enough outside the usual bounds of discussion here that there aren’t canned arguments to be recited. That said, once a proper counterargument is made, expect to see a whole lot more people rehashing the same counterarguments without adding much in the way of substantive content; once there’s a canned argument to fall back on, there are a lot of people who will do just that.
Of course, before SI’s formal reply is posted (and/or before you end up reading it), you now have a golden opportunity to formulate your own criticisms independently. Yes, the arguments presented in this post are quite strong ones. Are you capable of developing any counterarguments that could reasonably stand against them?
