As I said in the epistemic status, I’m far less certain than I once was, and on the whole I’m now skeptical. As I said in the post and earlier comments, I still think there are places where unquantifiable interventions are very valuable, I just think that unless it’s obvious that they will be (see: Diamond Law of Evaluation,) I’d claim that quantifiably effective interventions are in expectation better.
I’d be curious about your own view on unquantifiable interventions, rather than just the Steelman of this particular view.
