I liked the effort put into this comment, and found it worth reading, but disagree with it very substantially. I also think I expect it to overall have bad consequences on the discussion, mostly via something like “illusion of transparency” and “trying to force the discussion to happen that you want to happen, and making it hard for people to come in with a different frame”, but am not confident.
I think the first one is sad, and something I expect would be resolved after some more rounds of comments or conversations. I don’t actually really know what to do about the second one, like, on a deeper level. I feel like “people wanting to have a different type of discussion than the OP wants to have” is a common problem on LW that causes people to have bad experiences, and I would like to fix it. I have some guesses for fixes, but none that seem super promising. I am also not totally confident it’s a huge problem and worth focussing on at the margin.
