I guess AIM, ACE, AWF, and RP publicly explaining why they are not considering effects on soil animals would improve their reputation inside and outside the effective altruism community.
I guess the methodology RP used to obtain their mainline welfare ranges would imply higher welfare ranges for soil nematodes, mites, and springtails than the ones I estimated, so I think I am already adjusting downwards. My best guess is that I should adjust downwards even more, but that the expected change in the welfare of soil microorganisms, nematodes, mites, and springtails is still the major driver of the expected change in welfare caused by the vast majority of interventions.
Thanks, Nick.
