Why would we expect there to be good arguments for the wrong answer?
I meant this as the rhetorical “we”, not “we, Less Wrong”.
And in general, you shouldn’t take me, or any other commenter in particular (even Eliezer), to represent all of Less Wrong. This is a community blog, after all.
Personally I think it reflects poorly on anyone’s intellectual openness for them to believe the other side literally has no decent arguments.
Edit: Sorry, I see that you quoted from that comment, so presumably you did read it. That said, I’m not sure that what I said was clear, given your subsequent comments...

Did you read what I wrote about what makes arguments good or bad...?
