Good point, though I would point out that you need E, A, and R to be specialists when it comes to how people react to X, not just X, and I would say there’s evidence that’s not true.
I agree, but I know what conclusion I would draw from the belief in question if I actually believed it, so the issue of their knowledge of how people react is largely immaterial to me in particular. I was mostly posting to provide a data point in favor of keeping the material off LW, not to attempt to dissolve the issue completely or anything.
