I’m tentatively agreed. However, I’m concerned that a low-quality understanding of the limits of computational complexity would have a negative impact on discussion, because often the complexity results depend on very fragile assumptions that can be violated without significant harm (eg, replacing exact solutions with bounded-error ones).
I agree that a low-quality understanding of things has a negative impact on discussion but don’t see a reason to apply that skepticism more towards a concept that hasn’t been introduced to the LW memeplex than towards concepts that are already in it.
