but “this variable doesn’t matter to outcomes” is not a valid critique w.r.t. things like “what are current capabilities/time horizon”
Where did I say it isn’t a valid critique? I’ve said both over text and verbally that the behavior in cases where superexponentiality is true isn’t ideal (which makes a bigger difference in the time horizon extension model than benchmarks and gaps).
Perhaps you are saying I said it’s invalid because I also said that it can be compensated some by lowering the p_superexponential at lower time horizons? Saying this doesn’t imply that I think the critique is completely invalid, I still think there is a real issue there. We probably disagree about the magnitude, but again that doesn’t mean I think it’s invalid.
