Eh, depends heavily on who’s presenting and who’s talking. For instance, I’d almost always rather hear Eliezer’s interjection than whatever the presenter is saying.
I mean, I see why a rule of “do not spontaneously interject” is a useful heuristic; it’s one of those things where the people who need to shut up and sit down don’t realize they’re the people who need to shut up and sit down. But still, it’s not a rule which carves the space at an ideal joint.
An heuristic which errs in the too-narrow direction rather than the too-broad direction but still plausibly captures maybe 80% of the value: if the interjection is about your personal hobbyhorse or pet peave or theory or the like, then definitely shut up and sit down.

I make the simpler request because often rationalists don’t seem to be able to tell when this is (or at least tell when others can tell)
