Hey Zvi. Love and appreciate your writing. I’ve been an avid reader since the covid posts. I know it’s difficult since your posts are so long, but this one and others could use a proof-reading for typos. I regret that I didn’t write down any particular instances, but there were a number in this post.
That sort of thing doesn’t usually bother me, but your writing is precise and high-entropy to the point where a single mistaken word can make the thought much harder to digest. For example, in the sentence:
If this changes the rule from ‘you can build a house but you owe us $23k’ to ‘you can build a house and pay us $230’ then that is good on the margin.
I wasn’t sure where the $230 number came from. Was it supposed to be $230k, a figure you used later in that section? Or did it follow from something you wrote previously in that section and I just didn’t understand? I just skipped to the next section without trying to resolve my confusion, since I knew that your posts often contain typos and trying to scrutinize the $230 may be futile in the end. If I had confidence that your writings lacked typos I would have spent more time with it

I think it’s intentional. He’s saying that reducing the fee from $23k to $230 would be an improvement.
