Except the people who are signed up and the people who think it’s less likely to work are not the same people. For example, I meet the criteria for “experienced lesswronger”, and I am both not signed up for cryonics and think it’s very unlikely to work. There are similarly other people in the Boston meetup group who are signed up and think it’s somewhat likely to work. It’s only mysterious if you assume we’re homogenous.
Yes, that’s another possible explanation, and here’s yet another one. I’m not saying the Yvain’s theory is correct, only that Lalartu’s comment fails to fully account for the situation Yvain describes (though their later comment seems to make up for it if I understood it correctly).
