I agree that Ozy made these recommendations and that I didn’t emphasize their recommendations in my summary. I think what I summarized was the problems Ozy pointed at. These problems are things the recommendations are meant to address, but I suspect there are some underlying dynamics that generate the problems (at least except the 3rd one) and so I don’t think EA will listen to the recommendations well enough to fix them and therefore I think that the problems are more relevant to list because they show the future of EA. But of course this is a subjective editorial choice and I think one could reasonably have done otherwise.
I am not sure I would characterise 2 and 4 like that.
I think I’d say ozzy’s criticisms were more like:
So-Called Top EAs: Nonlinear was focused on status as a metric rather than helping their interns become better at their jobs
Sunshine Is The Best Disinfectant: Nonlinear says that any org would have this many errors. Ozzy says let’s get it all out in the open then
