If honesty does not contradict HC then I don’t see why HC should cause you to lie to yourself.
I agree in principle, but in practice, I am concerned. Dancing around taboo topics in your speech makes it easy to dance around them in your head, too.
And I don’t think HC implies becoming complicit: I see it more as looking for opportunities to nudge things in the right direction.
Again, I agree in principle, but am concerned in practice. Sometimes, nudging isn’t enough. HC can look an awful lot like cowardice / risk aversion.
I also don’t necessarily agree with the rule of correcting exactly once.
Perhaps this is more of a bug in my implementation of HC. :)
Regarding the notion that “you should sometimes be unwilling to compromize even when your words will not be received in a way which will increase the accuracy of the other person’s beliefs,”
It’s somewhat difficult for me to play the anti-HC side, but I suspect it would be something about “sometimes the accuracy of their beliefs isn’t all that’s at stake”.
