the authors have made a compelling case that even if >95% of their specific arguments are incorrect, the core claim “if anyone builds it, everyone dies” still holds true
I don’t believe this at all, and I’m not sure that you do either. I do believe that the title claim IABIED is largely true, but believe very much more strongly that it would be false if >95% of the arguments in the book were incorrect.
I’m not sure whether you are being hyperbolic with the “>95%” claim, or have actually gone through a sample of at least 50 arguments in the book and seriously examined what the world would look like if at most 2 of those were correct with all the rest failing to hold.
From what I’ve seen, the title claim would be seriously in doubt if even half of the arguments failed. Mainly because the world would necessarily be extraordinarily different in major respects from the way I or the authors believe that it is.
