Makes sense, seems like a sad failure of communication :(
Looks like on my side I had an illusion of transparency which made me feel like you must very likely know about this, which made me expect that a conversation about this would end up more stressful than it probably would have been. I expected that even if you didn’t do it intentionally (which I thought was plausible, but even at the time not very likely), I still expected that there was some subconscious or semi-intentional bias that I would have had to deal with that would have made the conversation pretty difficult. I do know think it’s very likely that the conversation would have just gone fine, and maybe would have successfully raised some flags.
I do wonder whether there was some way to catch this kind of thing. I wonder whether if the podcasts would be reliably posted to the forum with transcripts (which I think would be a great idea anyways), there is a higher chance someone would have left a comment pointing out the inconsistency (I think I at least would have been more likely to do that).
My guess is there are also various other lessons to take away from this, and I am interested in more detail on what you and other people at 80k did know about, but doesn’t seem necessary to go into right now. I appreciate you replying here.
