Just to play devil’s-advocate here—have you considered the possibility that your feeling here represents an over-generalization about LW’ers over-generalizing?
Maybe. But I didn’t make any claims about exactly how common this attitude is among LW’ers, only that it seems to exist.
I can’t help but feel that this seems like something of a retraction of what I would refer to as “the informational meaningfulness” of your positional stance. It reduces an interesting statement to a trivial one.
