I charitably read “random” as “randomly drawn” i.e. if you look at any poor community, the odds that they have been helped by EA is small because EA’s money flow is very small. This is also likely because of the quote from Anthony’s article.
if you randomly asked one of the people who themselves live in abject poverty, there is no chance that they will mention one of EA’s supported “effective” charities, as having impacted their lives more than the work of traditional global antipoverty agencies. No. That’s out of question.

I believe Tim was responding to this part.
Thanks, I deleted my comment. I appreciate your clarification.
