This is cool. Something I might try later this week as an exercise is going through every question (at least at the top level of nesting, maybe some of the nested questions as well), and give yes / no / it depends answers (or other short phrases, for non Y/N questions), without much justification.
(Some of the cruxes here overlap with ones I identified in my own contest entry. Some, I think are unlikely to be truly key as important cruxes. Some, I have a fairly strong and confident view on, but would not be surprised if my view is not the norm. Some, I haven’t considered in much detail at all...)
Definitely a lot of these are unlikely to be that crucial in the overall picture—but they all definitely have been points that people have relied on in arguments or discussions I’ve seen or been in, or questions that could potentially change my own model in ways that could matter, or both.
