When I’m reading through LW posts, they’re pretty much the only arguments I’ll update on. Otherwise, I’ll reserve the possibility that the initial argument wasn’t argued well. Especially when a position is just dismissed as ‘silly’, I’ll assume that the inferential distance was too large between that person’s point of view and ours. For example, here.
I really like DH7s.
