(although of course I don’t trust your rationality either)
I’m not sure this qualifier is necessary. Your argument is sufficient to establish your point (which I agree with) even if you do trust the other’s rationality.
Personally, I am entirely in favor of the “I don’t trust your rationality either” qualifier.
Is that because you think it’s necessary to Wei_Dai’s argument, or just because you would like people to be up front about what they think?
