Could you say more about the other side of the tradeoff? As in, what’s the affirmative case for having this policy? So far in this thread the main reason has been “we don’t want people to get the impression that X statement by a junior researcher represents RP’s views”. I see a very simple alternative as “if individuals make statements that don’t represent RP’s views they should always make that clear up front”. So is there more reason to have this policy?
