Too abstract, I don’t understand. Please explain the motivation and describe the question more thoroughly.
Also, upvoted because while I think this post was in error, I think it is better that buggy thinking be exposed and corrected rather than continue to be held in private. Rationality isn’t about being more right, it’s about becoming more right than you currently are, and it appears (maybe I’m wrong about this?) that mwaser has good intentions in the way of this.
Thank you. As I said below, I didn’t clearly understand the need for the explicit inclusion of motivation before. I now see that I need to massively overhaul the question and include motivation (as well as make a lot of other recommended changes).
The post has a ton of errors but I don’t understand why you think it was in error. Given that your premise about my intentions is correct, doesn’t your argument mean that posting was correct? Or, are you saying that it was in error due to the frequency of posting?

Tricky words. I meant simply that it had errors. Of course I agree that even a flawed post is useful (in that it helps to expose buggy thinking), but here it seems like you’re attempting to argue about what it means for a post to be “in error.” Taboo the word “error” and I don’t think we disagree.
