You know that dath ilan has been criticised, right?
That would be difficult to know for most people reading the Tumblr version, inasmuch as most of the harshest criticism I saw was on the LW version, which has since been deleted: http://lesswrong.com/lw/jzr/my_april_fools_day_confession/ One would have to know there was a LW post (which is mentioned nowhere in the Tumblr version, and Tumblr chooses to show mostly just upvotes on stuff, so don’t go looking there for criticism), pluck the URL out of the ether somehow (I had to pull it out of IRC logs), hope there’s an IA capture (which luckily, there is), and look it up (after all that I’m not sure how complete that version is, since the next IA capture is days later when the page—and its comments—have been deleted).

And private educators can teach more effectively than public educators...because they can spend more money.
The people who run public education systems aren’t irrational, just cash strapped.
Dath ilan is all about gold plating mousetraps...never mind the cost/benefit ratios, look how shiny it is.
