If you can point out where I asked for âa Givewell style CEAâ I might agree that it was an isolated demand for rigor.
I didnât do that, however. Instead, I asked for an attempt to make the case that it could be better than GiveDirectlyâI didnât specify how one might make the case or any level of rigor at all.
What I was imagining was a basic back of the envelope sketch of how this intervention might be cost effective, which I donât think OP provided.
The supposed motivation for the post was EA having a funding overhangâin that context asking how it compares to another intervention which can potentially absorb near limitless amounts of money without diminishing returns seems totally reasonable to me.
