I think Eliezer was rude here, and both you and the mods think that the benefits of the good parts of the comment outweigh the costs of the rudeness. That’s a reasonable opinion, but it doesn’t make Eliezer’s statement not rude, and I’m in general happy that both the rudeness and the usefulness are being entered into common knowledge.
