Um, keep in mind that that was in the context of Salamon evading an answer to a serious problem with her exposition: specifically, the question of what a could/should/would agent is not.
So the full context was more like:
Critic: What other kinds of agents could there be, besides “could”/“would”/“should” agents?
AnnaSalamon: Come now, AI people get it. Your question is like thinking you can just add fractions straight across.
If you’re talking about the devil’s advocate sub-thread I actually up-voted your comments in that context. From what I recall my tongue in cheek replies were actually intended to emphasise and expand upon a point you were making.
(But I may well have replied to other comments of yours without taking particular note of the author.)

Thankyou Silas. I reversed my vote. Since these are quotes from LW the context does matter (to me).
And I thank you as well. It’s good to know you apply that standard consistently, since you’ll probably recall it working against me a few days ago :-)
