I somewhat agree, athough I obviously put a bit less weight on your reason than you do. Maybe I should update my confidence of the importance of what I wrote to medium-high.
Let me raise the question of continuously rethinking incentives on LW/AF, for both Ben’s reason and my original reason.
The upvote/karma system does not seem like it incentivizes high epistemic standards and top-rigor posts, although I would need more datapoints to make a proper judgement.
Rigor as in meticulously researching everything seems not like the best thing to strive for? For what it’s worth I think the post actually did a good job in framing this post, so I mostly took this as, “this is what this feels like” and less this is what the current fundig situation ~actually~ is. The Karma system of the comments did a great job at surfacing important facts like the hotel price.
