I think it’s unfair to take Eliezer’s response as anything other than praise for this article. He noted already that he did not have time to respond properly.
And why even point out that a human’s response to anything is “suboptimal”? It will be notable when a human does something optimal.
We do, on occasion, come up with optimal algorithms for things. Also, “suboptimal” usually means “I can think of several better solutions off the top of my head”, not “This solution is not maximally effective”.
