I think it might be worth having an example-generating TAP here instead. Instead of weighing off “weigh in on the sensitive / exhausting debate” vs “say things like ′X affects Y in a double-causal-backflip-Goodhart manner’”, one could just generate another concrete example?
I agree examples are good, but generating good ones is often fairly hard (and is the difference between being a post I could rattle off in 30 minutes vs one that’ll take several hours)
I guess it just doesn’t seem like examples should take that long? I also think that really good examples might make for a good part of the value in a few cases, but that’s just a hunch.
