Hm, a fair point, I did not take the context into account.
My objection there is based on my belief that Less Wrong over-emphasizes cleverness, as opposed to what Yudkowsky calls ‘winning’. I see too many people come up with clever ways to justify their existing beliefs, or being contrarian purely to sound clever, and I think it’s terribly harmful.
