The terminology thing in the OP was I think most intended to highlight an underlying mood, that I wanted to make sure (in the subsequent discussion) people knew I wasn’t missing, as well as framing why I thought “this particular mood” was important rather than a somewhat-different mood that I expect Benquo, Jessica and others would have naively expected/preferred me to have.
I’m not certain whether the problem is really the lack of a word, but I think it’s at least useful to have shared concept of “when someone is motivatedly wrong, we have an easier time coordinating around that because we’ve read this blogpost.” (I designed the rhetoric of the blogpost to facilitate saying “hey, Alice is wrong, and I think we should be sitting bolt upright in alarm about this, not just shrugging it off.”)
