My main evidence is that these things are only supported by a relatively small proportion of other groups that contain some people who care a great deal about making a difference e.g. people involved in international development, social entrepreneurs, tech entrepreneurs who care about impact, the non-profit sector, some academics, people who work at the UN, etc.
Also, it seems clear that existing altruistic communities regard a much wider range of projects as plausibly high impact, and think it’s weird to focus on just one narrow area.
I think GWWC would also agree that objections along the lines of “what about the long-run or systemic effects” are some of the most common reactions to pitching AMF etc.
