I agree, which is why I think noticing that there’s an opportunity to do a public one (i.e. now) is something that should be treated as a valuable opportunity that’s worth treating differently than arguing-on-the-internet-qua-arguing-on-the-internet.
(I also think arguing “should ‘created by CFAR’ be positive or negative evidence” is at least slightly less meta-sturbatory than “let’s double crux about double crux”)
Strong agree that it’s both true that “the lack of an example to point to produces justified skepticism” and that “that’s partly unfair because that skepticism and other ‘too busys’ keep feeding into no one taking the time to create said example.”
Well, as I say elsewhere in these comments—that does make it of rather limited utility to much of the LW readership!
