While technically true, I think the implication is incorrect. I believe all of this has been said before. I also believe it has been said in more detail. I think you should cite your sources. This would also make it clearer which parts are your contribution.
It’s also much more appealing to go find additional sources to improve or refute the arguments in an article when the author has expressed enough interest in it to find the time to add citations. Citations aren’t just useful in their own right; they also serve as a signal that you believe the article is worthy of both your time and mine.
I assume most of what I said has already been said before because I’m sure intelligent people will have thought of it, I cannot recall having actually read discussions about most of the points (except for relinquishment), and I have read a lot of LW and related sites. Because of this, I don’t actually have the links to previous discussions of these points.

I’ll try to add more citations to future posts.
