Good point to raise Owen! I strongly agree that we don’t want to put people off contributing ideas that might run against default opinion or have flaws—these kinds of ideas are definitely really useful. And I think there were points in this post that did contribute something useful—I hadn’t thought before about whether a subjectivist should take into account moral uncertainty, and that strikes me as an interesting question. I didn’t downvote the post for this reason—it’s certainly relevant and it prompted me to think about some useful things—although I was initially very tempted to, because it did strike me as unreasonably overconfident.
