Robin and Richard—I think it is possible that Eliezer did not word his statement as cleanly as he might. However if his wording conflated categories, I am confident that with some care the exact same point can be re-worded without such conflation. There is something real and significant here that he’s pointing out, and it’s not going to go away simply because he was (if he was) a bit to loose in his presentation.
