Thanks for this thoughtful review! I think the more moderate version that you recommend is very sensible, even though I still stand by the more aggressive original version.
I think a crux for me is just how these things go in practise. Some people have reported that the meme “taboo outside view” has been helpful in conversations, and now you are reporting that it was harmful. I’m interested to hear that & would be interested to hear more details/examples if you remember any. I suppose ideally we’d do a poll of the community to find out whether the taboo has been overzealously applied or not.
