And yet, your g-grandparent comment, about which EY was asking, was brief… which suggests that the process you describe here isn’t always dominant.
Although when asked a question about it, instead of either choosing or refusing to answer the question, you chose to back all the way up and articulate the constraints that underlie the comment.
Hm? I thought I’d answered the question. I.e. I rewrote my original comment roughly the way I’d expect AK to write it, except with my personal concerns about justification and such, which is what Eliezer had asked me to do, ’cuz he wanted more information about whether or not I was AK, so that he could make money off Mitchell Porter. I’m reasonably confident I thwarted his evil plans in that he still doesn’t know to what extent I actually cooperated with him. Eliezer probably knows I’d rather my friends make money off of Mitchell Porter, not Eliezer.

Oh! I completely missed that that was what you were doing… sorry. Thanks for clarifying.
