Good points, but I still think that these questions belong in some kind of “Old Topics” thread, because there’s already been a lot said about them, and because most new people will want to argue them anyway. Even if they’re not considered to be settled or to be conditions that define LW, I’d prefer if there’s a place for new people to start discussing them other than 2-year-old threads or tangential references in new posts.
