The rationalist answer is totally receivable. Not need to dive into the facts, you just disagree, because it is a point of view you are not supporting for philosophical reasons. Same thing as rejecting an opinion pictured as “cynical”,”communist” or “liberal”. And yeah, you can think a philosophy is good for you and a group of people but will certainly not extend beyond that limit, so you simply let the others talk about it. Besides, AI is in the article but not every article is about EA in AI or vice-versa, so any other supporter of EA simply might not have an opinion on that, and therefore not give a damn about this article.
