Thanks for the link, I wasn’t aware of that. Still disappointed to see an ad hominem argument. It’s true that Matthews only included it as a throwaway sentence, but this is the kind of characterization that readers can latch on to… feels like within-EA movement disagreements should be kept above the ad hominem level. (Also in favor of engaging opponents in a classy way, but let’s walk before we run.)
