I don’t think we disagree here. As far as 1950 being “long ago”, my point was that I picked examples that I really don’t expect to be live issues for Less Wrong readers; there were other issues being discussed in 1950 that are still subjects of disagreement between LW-type people, and those I shouldn’t use.
