There is a thing saying “Section 9: More complicated probability questions”, after which there is only one probability question, and actually even that one is not exactly a probability question; after that are a bunch of not-probability questions. I suspect that it should be something more like “Section 9: Other questions”, and if so then probably either the words that follow should be tweaked or else they should be moved to the previous section heading.
I trust the new heading, “Section 9: Other Traditional Less Wrong Census Questions, Which Used To Be Called More Complicated Probability Questions,” is perfectly satisfactory to all concerned.
You’re welcome. My apologies if you would have preferred one long comment with many observations in it, rather than one comment per thing I spotted. :-) [EDITED to add:] It was a deliberate decision, on the rather dubious grounds that maybe some people would want to be able to upvote/downvote things on a per-comment basis, though in fact I doubt there’s much need for voting in this thread unless something is super-stupid or super-insightful, which I’m pretty sure none of my comments here are.
One observation per comment is actually preferable to me! It means I can reply to each observation to argue with it state that it’s been done or that I’ve considered it and decided to keep it, forming a nice little to-do list for me.

Thank you for the second set of eyes by the way!
