I don’t think these articles should make up a high proportion of the content on Less Wrong, but I think it’s good if things like this are occasionally discussed.
I agree that things like this should be discussed, but the question is how. Mere link might be okay for something that is urgent… where the trade-off is between posting the bare link and procrastinating to write something more.
But if it is 4 years old, then we don’t need to hurry, and if you want to have a debate, perhaps you could start by writing your opinion on what happened, and maybe add some more context.
(Also, I think it would be nice to make the fact that it is 4 years old more visible.)
So basically in my opinion the topic is okay, but this way you introduced it is not.
