I’d be interested in seeing why they rate malaria so much lower, at least in relative terms, than most of the EA community does. That’s probably a good clue to the differences in methodology, and a shortcut to figuring out whose methods yield more accurate priorities.
P.S. I’m not surprised that measuring the UN development goals is unproductive; a lot of them are obviously distractions. Priorities research only adds value when it’s non-obvious whether something should be a priority. Once it’s clear that the goal is garbage, move on.
