(I’m reminded of an old LW post, that I can’t find, about Eliezer giving some young kid (who wants to be a writer) writing advice, while a bunch of bystanders signal that they don’t regard Eliezer as trustworthy.)
And from that exploration, this IDC-process seems to work well, in the sense of getting good results.
An important clarification, at least from my experience of the metacognition, is that it’s both getting good results and not triggering alarms (in the form of participant pushback or us feeling skeevy about doing it). Something that gets people to nod along (for the wrong reasons) or has some people really like it and other people really dislike it is often the sort of thing where we go “hmm, can we do better?”
