Also you may have way more skill at converting people to contrary ideas than I do. I lose patience.
You may also be lacking in the skill of telling when your contrary ideas are actually wrong. I don’t doubt are certainly correct ideas that go against what many LessWrongers think, but there are many more wrong ideas that do. It may be that Wei Dai brings the first kind, and you bring the second kind. Or it may be that Wei Dai is just a better writer than you. I’d say it’s a mix of both.

The disagreement is mostly in the areas where LW does speculate massively.
