I do not seek out examples to support my conclusion but to weaken your argument that one should trust Yudkowsky because of his previous output.
You shouldn’t seek to “weaken an argument”, you should seek what is the actual truth, and then maybe ways of communicating your understanding. (I believe that’s what you intended anyway, but think it’s better not to say it this way, as a protective measure against motivated cognition.)

I like your parenthetical, I often want to say something like this, and you’ve put it well.
