It does distress me when people who argue that it’s imperfect or broken do not even bother to address a very large corpus of data about its usefulness, including our claim that, in our experiences, the overlapping common crux is actually there.
As a datapoint, this is the first time that I remember hearing that there would exist “a very large corpus of data about its usefulness”. The impression I got from the original DC post was that this was popular among CFAR’s instructors, but that you’d been having difficulties effectively teaching this to others.
I think that if such a corpus of evidence exists, then the main reason why people are ignoring it is because the existence of this corpus hasn’t been adequately communicated, making the implicit accusation of “your argument isn’t taking into account all the data that it should” unfair.
That’s sensible. I would have thought it was implied by “CFAR’s taught this at every workshop and event that it’s run for the past two years,” but I now realize that’s very typical-mind-fallacy of me.
That’s what I mean by typical mind fallacy. I live in the universe where it’s obvious that double crux is being taught and tinkered with constantly, because I work at CFAR, and so I just stupidly forgot that others don’t have access to that same knowledge. i.e. I was elaborating on my agreement with you, above.
Also, by “newer concept” we just mean relative to CFAR’s existence since 2012. It’s younger than e.g. inner sim, or TAPs, but it’s been a part of the curriculum since before my hiring in October 2015.
Also also in consolidating comments I have discovered that I lack the ability to delete empty comments.
I’ve just been going around and deleting the empty comments. Right now we don’t allow users to delete comments, since that would also delete all children comments by other authors (or at least make them inaccessible). Probably makes sense for people to be able to delete their own comments if they don’t have any children.

Where’s that fact from? It wasn’t in the original DC post, which only said that the technique “is one of CFAR’s newer concepts”.

Ah, gotcha.
I upvoted this entire chain of comments for the clear and prosocial communication displayed throughout.
