If I’m wrong about this specific case, it’s because of idiosyncratic details and because I didn’t do as much research on this particular org relative to other people here. If I was wrong in this specific case, it would be a very weak update against my stance that EA orgs should be robust against sudden public backlash, due to features specific to the Community health team, not a strong update that I’m wrong about the vulnerabilities. The vulnerability that I’m researching is a technical issue, which remains an external threat regardless of specific details about who-did-what, and all I can say about it here is that this internal conflict is a lot more dangerous than it appears to any of the participants initiating it.
We’re basically doomed to continue talking past eachother here. You don’t seem to be willing to give tons of detail here about how, exactly, the Community Health And Special Projects team is too corrupt to function. I’m not willing to give tons of detail here about external threats that are vastly more significant than any internal drama within EA, which means I can’t explain the details demonstrating why external threats to EA actually dominate the calculus of how important is the Community Health And Special Projects team or whether it should be disbanded.
I am extremely, extremely against disposing of important-sounding EA institutions based off of popular will, as this is a vulnerability that is extremely exploitable by outsiders and we should not create precedent/incentives to exploit that vulnerability.
