I agree with these examples, but cousin_it said specifically that
its authors are more focused on showing how smart they are, instead of playing on the self-identification of readers as Eliezer did
and these examples all seem to be more “Eliezer showing off how smart he is” rather than “Eliezer making his readers feels smart”.
Though now that’s it been pointed out, I agree that there’s a sense of Eliezer also doing the latter, and doing more of it than the average focused-on-the-former writer… but this distinction seems a little fuzzy to me and it’s not entirely clear to me what the specific things that he does are.
