Random thought: I think it would be kind of cool if there were EA forum prizes for people publicly changing their minds in response to comments/ feedback.
This creates weird incentives, e.g. I could construct a plausible-but-false view, make a post about it, then make a big show of changing my mind. I don’t think the amounts of money involved make it worth it, but I’m wary of incentivizing things that are so easily gamed.
I think someone doing this in a post is likely to aid their chances of winning a prize, but that’s not an official thing—just based on how I’d expect judges to react (and how I might react, depending on the context). The “changed my mind” post/comment is one of several really good post/comment genres.
