(1)I agree that it would be good to have more data. However, I think the evidence is strong enough to conclude that framing it as “Longtermism” is likely to be accepted by most people. Furthermore, I think the point of “Longtermism” already being used by media means there should at least be some content with this framing as an answer to those critical reviews.
I don’t have the time to conduct a bigger survey, especially not for more difficult groups that have a higher bar for being surveyed. Still, I encourage others to do so. I can offer funding for a project like that as well.
I may change my mind if you a) have some clear downsides in mind with using “Longtermism” or b) think your framing would bring very different results.
