Thank you for an interesting comment. Would you say that we should expect more impact from the fact that we are identifying and referring strong candidates, and providing them with a strong signal of their competence, motivation and EA understanding, than from any learning and experience they might build during the camp?
That would honestly be my guess. Some people would call this cynical, but I think the amount of skills you’re going to impart in 4 days, or even with a very long ~5 week camp, are pretty limited compared to the variation in people’s innate dispositions, and the experience gained in their whole lifetime beforehand.
