I wasnât convinced by their reasoning, but I am convinced by epistemic modesty arguments and they had more experience in the area, so I nixxed the project.
I agree that the epistemic modesty/âhumility idea of âdefer at least somewhat to other people, and more so the more relevant experience/âexpertise they haveâ makes sense in general.
I also think that the unilateralistâs curse provides additional reason to take that sort of approach in situations (like this one) where âsome number of altruistically minded actors each have the ability to take an action that would cause accidental harm to othersâ (quoting from that link). So itâs good to hear youâre doing that :)
That sounds good to me.
