I don’t think that it is. In this particular case Eliezer was saying he was swayed by some bloggers but not that blogging is superior in general.

Even if he had been correctly swayed, it’s still not clear that his favourite bloggers are reliable access the board.
The idea that there is a reliably correct contratianism remains unproven.
