  on: Scal­able ways to as­so­ci­ate ev­i­dence (pro or con) with claims will be more valuable in ele­vat­ing ac­cu­racy than com­plex vot­ing and rep­u­ta­tion systems

  I think that Scott’s essays The Control Group Is Out Of Control (particularly the idea of the Ouroboros of Scientific Evidence) and Why I Am Not Rene Descartes are relevant here. In difficult cases, assessing evidence properly is a matter for intricate discussion.

  They are smooth relative to my state of knowledge. I don’t know exactly how things are in the charity.
