Mod note – I downvoted this because it made a bunch of bold assertions that seemed false, without backing them up.
(The mod team puts extra attention on evaluating new user’s first posts and comments. In the past the mod team would have probably just not-approved this post and said “sorry, this doesn’t meet our quality bar.” We’re trying to do more moderation in public so that people have more of an idea of how our policies work in practice. Our goal is for users to get a fairly quick sense of where the quality bar is, but then afterwards feel pretty comfortable thinking out loud on LessWrong without worrying about whether your writing is good enough. This is a tricky thing to balance)
