Overall I think I screwed up a bunch about this episode. If you were inclined to think that the content of these interviews is reliable the great majority of the time, then this is a helpful reminder that ideas are sometimes garbled on the show — and if something sounds wrong to you, it might well just be because it’s wrong. I’m sorry about that, and we try to keep it at reasonable levels, though with the format we have we’ll never get it to zero.
FWIW I’ve generally assumed that the content in those interviews are wrong pretty often, certainly I’d expect the average interview to have at least one egregious mistake.
I don’t think this should be too surprising, being fully accurate for 2h+ on interesting topics is very hard.
