Just to say it explicitly, I also don’t see at all how the graphs you’ve shown could be interpreted to support Eliezer’s interpretations. I also don’t understand how Eliezer arrived at the decision to tell this story in this way based on this data.
My only background on this issue is reading Inadequate Equilibria and this post, so that’s all I’m going on here.
It does seem like a straightforward conclusion that Eliezer didn’t really understand what he was writing about then.
If so, publishing a revised version with the necessary changes seems like the sensible choice. Especially since the example is frequently referenced throughout.
