Your treatment of cause 2 seems like it’s actually asking people to lie or conceal crucial information. Obviously Version 2 is unhelpful, but the implication that we have to choose between version 1 or 2 when talking about the people involved—that judging people is just about directing positive or negative affect towards them—is misleading. I thought this was supposed to be a rationality forum. Talking about the patterns that generate mistakes seems like a core activity for a rationality forum.

Did you mean Version 2?
I mean the section titled “2. Secondary information perceived in your message is upsetting.”
