Thanks for this post! I think the initiative is great, and I’m glad to be able to read a summary of the discussion.
Two points, the first more serious and important than the second:
Concerning your summary, I think that having only the Eleven Paragraph Summary (and maybe the one paragraph, if you really want a short one), is good enough. Notably, I feel like you end throwing too many important details in the three paragraphs summary. And nine paragraphs is short enough than anyone can read it.
Imagine that I want to respond to a specifc point that was discussed. Should I do that here or in the comments of the original post? The first option might make my comment easier to see, but it will split the discussion. (Also, it might cause an infinite recursion of distilling the discussions of the distillation of the discussion of the distillation of … the discussion.)
I don’t know re: the second. Ideally this post would become more like a publicly editable wiki. I’d kind of like more discussion under this post, but don’t have a strong feeling.

Good point on the first part, seems right, I’ll cut it to be that.
Added: I’ve now re-writtten it.
