I see the main contribution of this post as being a personal, phenomenological account of one of the fundamental skills of rationality—this post contains incredibly clear examples and explanations of a very subtle phenomenon. It also helped me (and I believe many others) understand a discussion I’d been confused about. For these reasons, I’ve curated it.
The main reason I wouldn’t want to curate this post is due to it’s length, and the fact that I found the second half less clear than the first. But the post is surprisingly readable all-round, so this wasn’t a big factor in my decision.
