I see the point of this post. No arguments with the existence of productive reframing. But I do not think this post makes a good case for reframing being robustly good. Obviously, it can be bad too. And for the specific cases discussed in the post, the post you linked doesn’t make me think “Oh, these are reframed ideas, so good—glad we are doing redundant work in isolation.”
For example with polysemanticity/superposition I think that TAISIC’s work has created generational confusion and insularity that are harmful. And I think TAISIC’s failure to understand that MI means doing program synthesis/induction/language-translation has led to a lot of unproductive work on toy problems using methods that are unlikely to scale.
