Strongly agree that the focus on Implementation is critical, and can easily be missed by those only superficially acquainted with I/N/T analyses. It’s also good to focus on linkage—see Pearl’s amusing / correct paper on why applying scientific knowledge to actual decisions is useless. Overall, 9⁄10 on content.
At the same time, I think this post would be greatly improved with editing and simplifying the arguments. (I tend to need help with the same things; structure, leaving things out, making a clear case in the introduction, etc. So I very, very often ask for editing help.) I would give the post itself an unfortunate 3⁄10 on clarity of presentation, which is unfortunate given what I think is the usefulness of the argument.
All that said, I upvoted this, but am unsurprised, and nonetheless disappointed, to see that someone / other people have downvoted this without saying why.
