Habryka do you at least agree that the majority of LWers who would be happy to define CEV if asked would not (if prompted) make the argument that the set of people included is intended as a compromise to make the bargaining easier?
Depends on the definition of “majority of LWers”. LW has tens of thousands of users. My guess is if you limit to the people who have written about CEV themselves you would get the right answer, and if you include people who have thought about it for like 10 minutes while reading all the other stuff you would get the wrong answer. If you take an expansive definition I doubt you would get an accurate answer for almost anything one could ask about.
Given that like half of the CEV article on Arbital makes approximately this point over and over again, my guess is most people who read that article would easily get it right.
