I think a lot of the hubbub in this thread is due to different interpretations of SIAI related folks saying that the minicamp was ‘successful’. I think many people here have interpreted ‘success’ as meaning something like “definitely improved the rationality of the attendants lastingly” and I think SIAI folks intended to say something like “was competently executed and gives us something promising to experiment with in the future”.
