My read is it wasn’t the statistics they got hammered on misrepresenting other people’s views of them as endorsements e.g. James Snowden’s views. I will also say the AI side does get this criticism but not on cost-effectiveness but on things like culture war (AI Ethics vs. AI Safety) and dooming about techniques (e.g. working in a big company vs. more EA aligned research group and RLHF discourse).
Yes in that post the misrepresentation was part of the criticism they receive (which they engaged with and was at least partially corrected which is impressive) but I think the statistical analysis bore the most heavy overall criticism in that post, and in other earlier posts.

Thanks for the AI perspective!
