Done, thanks!
As of two years ago, the evidence for this was sparse. Looked like parity overall, though the pool of “supers” has improved over the last decade as more people got sampled.
There are other reasons to be down on XPT in particular.
Maybe he dropped the “c” because it changes the “a” phoneme from æ to ɑː and gives a cleaner division in sounds: “brac-ket” pronounced together collides with “bracket” where “braa-ket” does not.

The accusation of site bias against social context or mechanism was perfectly true last year, but no longer, and my personal scoping should not be taken as indifference.
Of the NSF people, only Sharon Li strikes me as doing things relevant to AGI.
Happy to be corrected if you know better!
Yep! In footnote 3
