Analogy:
Person 1: “Penicillin isn’t that great- it hasn’t helped my flu at all.”
Person 2: “It’s had awesome results for people with bacterial infections, but it doesn’t seem to help with viral ones.”
Person 3: “How dare you blame Person 1 for having the wrong kind of infection!”
Person 2: “What the hell?”
well analogized.
You still shouldn’t be peddling penicillin as a miracle cure. Likewise with LW rationality.
