Note that it appears that Eliezer was paid $83,934 in 2009 as additional compensation for the completion of the Sequences.
Okay, that didn’t happen. I got my standard salary in 2009, no more. I think my standard salary must’ve been put down as payment for the Sequences… or something; I don’t know. But I didn’t get anything but my standard salary in 2009 and $84K sounds right for the total of that salary.
The section that led me to my error was 2009 III 4c. The amount listed as expenses is $83,934 where your salary is listed in 2009 VII Ad as $95,550. The text in III 4c says:
“This year Eliezer Yudkowsky finished his posting sequences on Less Wrong [...] Now Yudkowsky is putting together his blog posts into a book on rationality. [...]”
This is listed next to two other service accomplishments (the Summit and Visiting Fellows).
If I had totaled the program accomplishments section I would have seen that I was counting some money twice (and also noticed that the total in this field doesn’t feed back into the main sheet’s results).
Hm. $95K still sounds too high, but if I recall correctly, owing to a screwup in our payments processor at that time, my salary for the month of January 2010 was counted into the 2009 tax year instead of 2010.

Please accept my apology for the confusion.

No apology is required; you wrote without malice.
