Hi Rohin; I apologize for being vague and implicit; I agree that the first question is not complex, and I should’ve clarified that I’m primarily responding to the related (but in the post, almost completely implicit) worries which I think are much more complex than the literal questions are. You helped me realize just now that the post may look like it’s primarily answering the written-down questions, even though the main reason for all my elaboration (on the assumptions, possible biases, comparison with offsetting views, etc.) was to respond to the implicit worries.
Regarding whether the answers to the first two questions are straightforwardly “yes”, I would still note that such a one-word answer would lack the nuance that is present in what Magnus wrote above (and which I noted already in the overview because I think it’s relevant for the worries).
