I don’t particularly want to try to resolve the disagreement here, but I’d think value per dollar is pretty different for dollars at EA institutions and for dollars with (many) EA-aligned people [1]. It seems like the whole filtering/selection process of granting is predicated on this assumption. Maybe you believe that people at CEA are the type of people that would make very good use of money regardless of their institutional affiliation?
[1] I’d expect it to vary from person to person depending on their alignment, commitment, competence, etc.
