I’m on board with communicating the premises of the path to impact of your research when you can. I think more people doing that would’ve saved me a lot of confusion. I think your particular phrasing is a bit unfair to the slow takeoff camp but clearly you didn’t mean it to read neutrally, which is a choice you’re allowed to make.
I wouldn’t describe my intention in this comment as communicating a justification of alignment work based on slow takeoff? I’m currently very uncertain about takeoff speeds and my work personally is in the weird limbo of not being premised on either fast or slow scenarios.

I didn’t take you to be doing so—it’s a reminder for the future.
