I’m surprised you think this is “absolutely critical”. Do you think I’m making a grave error in my newfound distaste for paraphyletic groupings? (My ability to notice their awkwardness felt internally like evidence that my joint-carving skills have improved over the years, ftr.) Is there some other joint-carving skill you believe I am lacking, or have lost? Or perhaps you’re decrying a decay in general community epistemics, for which my thread is simply a poster-child? Or perhaps you’re lamenting some general community or global decline of candor? I’m uncertain what precisely you’re dismayed about, and solicit specific criticisms of my actions.
