Put this way I change my mind and agree it is unclear. However, to make your paper stronger, I would have included something akin to what you just wrote in the paper to make it clear why you think Gabriel’s use of “iteration effects” is unclear and not the same as his usage in the ‘priority’ section.
I’m not sure how important clarifying something like this is for philosophical argumentation, but for me, this was the one nagging kink in what is otherwise fast becoming one of my favourite “EA-defense” papers.
Thanks for the feedback. From memory, I think at the time we thought that since it didn’t do any work in his argument, we didn’t think that could be what he meant by it.
