I’m intrigued to see where this sequence is going!
Or, to put it another way, the Adversarial Argument may not be valid in general, but by proclaiming it loudly and often, we can make it valid (at least in certain contexts) and thus make distinguishing truth and falsehood easier.
Noticing people not doing this in contexts where I think it’s appropriate is one of the most triggering things for me that I can imagine. So I think the acausal negotiation tactic comes quite naturally to me.
Similarly, I find it equally triggering when I see people punish others for honesty, for disclosing information they could easily have withheld.
