Criticism’s well and good, but 140 characters or less of out-of-context quotation doesn’t lend itself to intelligent criticism. From the looks of that feed, about half of it is inferential distance problems and the other half is sacred cows, and neither one’s very interesting.
If we can get anything from it, it’s a reminder that killing sacred cows has social consequences. But I’m frankly tired of beating that particular drum.
Would just like to make sure everyone here is aware of LessWrong.txt

Things like this merely mean that you exist and someone else has noticed it.
