Agreement karma indicates agreement, separate from overall quality.
Actually, I take back the first part. I have some prior P(zoroastrianism is true). The fact that the P(book about zoroastrianism uses spurious reasoning designed to convinced me it’s true and it actually is true) is lower, is irrelevant. I don’t care if it’s true, I only care about Zoroastrianism itself. Besides, with the initial condition on reasoning used, this second probability is also bounded because if Zoroastrianism is true, the book is in fact perfectly valid. So P(The book is lying) = P(Zoroastrianism is false).
