Yeah I briefly alluded to this but your explanation is much more readable (maybe I’m being too terse throughout?).
My take is “this dynamic is worrying, but seems overall less damaging than deferral interfering with belief formation, or than conflation between epistemic deferring and deferring to authority”.
I think I roughly agree althought I haven’t thought much about the epistemic vs authority deferring thing before.
Idk if you were too terse, it seemed fine to me. That said, I would have predicted this would be around 70 karma by now, so I may be poorly calibrated on what is appealing to other people.
