It’s at least somewhat germane here. As I understand Adam’s post, he is urging GiveWell to weight certain types of animal-welfare harm in its analyses. But that would make GiveWell’s work less valuable to many people whose views materially differ in certain ways from whatever specific views and weights regarding animal welfare GiveWell incorporated into its analyses. I think Vasco’s views represent a valid (albeit unusual) example of those circumstances for a specific potential(?) donor.
