Thanks for writing this! This debate was bugging me too; I don’t have the background to dive into it in detail as in this post but the fact that Eliezer was implicitly taking a pretty strong stance on P vs. BPP bugged me ever since I read the original LW post. This is also a great example of why I think LW needs more discussion of topics like computational complexity.
