In this case though, it’s clear that Eliezer wants people to get something out of knowing about the AI box experiments. That’s my extrapolated Eliezer volition at least. Since for me and many others we can’t get anything out of the experiments without knowing what happened, I feel it is justified to question Eliezer where we see a contradiction in his stated wishes and our extrapolation of his volition.
In most situations I would agree that it’s not cool to push.
