I get a lot of flak from rationalists when I try to do stuff in the weird word territory.
It’s clear to me that the delineation is both necessary and helpful for people who are still getting the hang of interpreting weird words and for people well versed to find each other and compare notes.
To mush all PR into R isn’t making anyone happy.
I see R folk complaining about PR.
I see reductionist R folk, trying to deny the existence of PR.
I see PR folk laughing at the problem because of some variation on, “it seems so obvious now”.
I see PR folk bitter and annoyed because to them there is clearly something different that is not easy to delineate.
I see all this and more. We aren’t winning any games of “I mapped it better” by mushing two categories together.
