I liked the article fine, but I do think if “dark arts” is going to be used in the title you should spend a few sentences at some point explaining it (in particular for newcomers to site who won’t know what dark arts means in the first place, let alone Lesswrongians who know what it means but are still slightly confused as to your intent)
I’ve decided to just change the title to simplify things. If anyone has any better suggestions for it, let me know. Instead of awkwardly trying to fit in an explanation, I thought it better to just remove the reference. I think this post deviated from my original vision quite a bit.
