Thanks for drawing our attention to that early Overcoming Bias post. But please note that it was written by Hal Finney, not Robin Hanson. It took me a few minutes to realize this, so it seemed worth highlighting lest others fail to appreciate it.
Incidentally, I’ve been re-reading Finney’s posts over the past couple of days and have been very impressed. What a shame that such a fine thinker is no longer with us.

ETA: Though one hopes this is temporary.
Somehow I missed your reply originally; I’ve updated my comment to correct the author name of the post.
Thanks! By the way, I found your original comment helpful for writing about the history of the concept of an independent impression.
