The discussion in the comments section of most of the old OB posts is well below the standards of LessWrong today. I’m not sure if that’s because LessWrong attracts higher-quality commenters than the old OB did, or because reading the sequences dramatically improved the quality of discussion, or both.
But don’t judge understanding of a 2007 post by the quality of the comments.
