Promoted to curated. One of LessWrong’s main goals is to advance the art of rationality, and spotting patterns in the ways we process and misprocess evidence is a central piece of that. I also appreciated the Bayesian grounding, the epistemic statuses and the recapping and links to older work. I’m pretty sure most have made these errors before, and I expect that fitting them into a pattern will make them easier to recognize in the future.
