Thus Eliezer’s title for this mentality, “Pretending To Be Wise”.
Have we broadened that term to refer to… well, lowercase pretending-to-be-wise in general? In the original post, he used it specifically to refer to those who try to signal wisdom by neutrality. (Though I did notice he used it in the broader sense in HPMoR. Is it thus officially redefined?)

Yeah, I was thinking of the HPatMOR usage. It’s a good phrase, and it would be a shame not to use it.
