At the same time, if the shift in EA practice as claimed by you is indeed real (which I think it is), then it would also seem that EA has failed to do adequate mistake acknowledgement with respect to past critiques. This might hold some insights as to why certain forms of criticisms are by-default disincentivized.
(I do hope that this contest will make a genuine attempt to correct that disincentive landscape.)
The problem is, we’re not an agent and so no one makes The decision to shift and so no one is noticeably responsible for acknowledging credit and blame. But it’s still fair to want it.
