Shorter definitely seems better. Ideally I think there’d be a version that was less than a hundred pages. Something as short and concise as possible. Do we really need to list every cognitive bias to explain rationality? How much is really necessary and how much can be cut?
It’s a nontrivial operation to figure out what stuff can be cut. The work isn’t just listing a bunch of facts, it’s weaving them in a compelling way that helps people integrate them. Trimming things down requires new ways of fitting them together.
(Basically I’m saying “yes, people are taking this seriously, and the reason the job isn’t done already is that it’s hard.”)
