EA has a high deference culture compared to the epistemic norms it claims to adhere to = compared to the standards it aspires and claims to follow, I’d say. This can be true independently of the difference with other groups of people that you described (which I think is also a true description).
Yeah, I agree with that. On the margin I think more EAs should defer less. I’ve been frustrated with this in particular on topics I know a lot about, such as AI timelines.
