Yes; what I meant by “success” was more like a successful party or conference; Luke pulled off an event that nearly all the attendees were extremely glad they came to, gave presentations that held interest and influenced behavior for at least the upcoming weeks, etc. It was successful enough that, when combined with Luke’s other accomplishments, I know we want Luke, for his project-completion, social effectiveness, strategicness, fast learning curves, and ability to fit all these qualities into SingInst in a manner that boosts our overall effectiveness. I don’t mean “Minicamp definitely successfully created new uber-rationalists”; that would be a weird call from this data, given priors.
I think people are seeing drastically different things in the word ‘success’.
