“to make predictions with probability 1 (which, you must concede, is a plausible reading of “no danger whatsoever”)”
I don’t know what Eliezer will concede, but in fact it is more than a plausible reading. It’s what the phrase means. Actually, “no danger” means “probability 1 of no conversion”, and “whatsoever” means “for real, folks, I mean probability 1 exactly”. And I don’t see anything religious about it. Hyperbolic perhaps, but not religious.

Nice post, Eliezer.
