Thanks for the comment, I’ve edited the original statement based on the feedback.
I didn’t imply Eliezer thought that way in fact he implicitly lays the groundwork to question our currently held moral sensibilities by emphasising the need to look at the cognitive strategies that produce results.
“Everyone” was an exaggeration, not meant literally, put there in the spur of the moment to communicate my surprise that many did. Much more than I would have expected. Eliezer asked them to come up with cognitive strategies that would help Archimedes “win”, implicitly thus helping modern humanities odds of “winning” and serving as a good lesson about how the right answer can’t be conflated with the method of obtaining the right answer.
