Thanks as always for your careful and helpful read! I was just telling someone yesterday that this exchange is a positive reflection on the EA community and ethos — as a comparison point, it’s been way more constructive and collaborative than any of my experiences with academic peer review.
It sounds like I haven’t changed your mind on the core subject and that’s totally understandable. I speculate that this is something of a (professional) culture difference — the academics I discussed this essay with all started nodding along with the general idea the moment I mentioned “uncertainty about external validity” 😃
And thanks for the insight into AMF, y’all do great work.
