I’m curious; what are the origins of the hypothetical opponent in this discussion? That is, what articles/people/sources of arguments do you see promoting those views, either explicitly or implicitly? Now that you’ve presented a (straw?weak?accurate?steel?)man version of that position, I’m interested in learning more context.
I wasn’t thinking of one of them as the opponent really, but it is inspired by an amalgam of all the casual conversation about signaling I have ever had. For some reason I feel like there is sort of a canonical platonic conversation about signaling, and all of the real conversations are short extracts from it. So I started out tried to write it down. It doesn’t seem very canonical in the end, but I figured it might be interesting anyway.
