It’s not the fact that he was being sloppy that really bothers me. It is the fact that he was knowingly sloppy because he thought he could get away with it. It wasn’t sloppiness due to a miscalculation, it was calculated sloppiness. I’m sure Eliezer does the former, but I’ve never had the impression of him engaging in the latter.
