To the second point, yes, I probably agree, and it’s an approach I find useful.
But sometimes you don’t get the chance to say so many words, and giving the opportunity to people to connect the dot “EA” to “your values and your actions” might increase the understanding one has of EA (as it would for feminism), without necessarily engaging in a lengthy conversation with all of the people that would be able to connect the dots otherwise by observing your actions from a bit further. I hope that makes sense.
