did you intend to skip actually telling us what NBT is?
Of course. The hard part about noticing your confusion isn’t recognizing it, when it is pointed out. It’s, you know, the noticing part. I tell you, I get a few points of karma for it, maybe, and everyone looses the opportunity to do it for themselves. Now, that’s negative sum!
I think one thing that keeps people from asking questions is the flinching from the uncertainty that may never get resolved. But that’s clearly not the case with MoR (unless Eliezer is evil, and his puzzles will never be resolved in-story). These are well stuctured puzzles leading us along (hell I’m identifying puzzle arcs), and we just have to make some effort.
I guess my sense of justice doesn’t like how something deep gets complains about surface stuff, when that surface can in fact be justified by the deeper stuff. Stupid sense of justice.

No, it just looks annoying. If you really wanted to prod thought, you’d offer the proverbial ‘hostage to fortune’ in the form of a hash precommitment to your NBT theory so you have verifiably expressed a particular theory well in advance of MoR ending and have exposed yourself to public ridicule in the event your theory is laughably wrong or you had none at all; knowing that you now have something at stake, people might take you more seriously.
