I’ve posted brief explanations for some of the questions as replies to those questions. I haven’t posted explanations for those questions that I believe the vast majority of LW users will understand. If you don’t understand a question, I’m fairly certain that if you scroll down far enough you’ll find a comment from me with an attempt at explication.
