either unconvincing on the object level, or because I suspect that the sceptics haven’t thought deeply enough about the argument to evaluate how strong it is
The post states that the skeptics spent 80 hours researching the topics, and were actively engaged with concerened people. For the record, I have probably spent hundreds of hours thinking about the topic, and I think the points they raise are pretty good. These are high quality arguments: you just disagree with them.
I think this post pretty much refutes the idea that if skeptics just “thought deeply” they would change their minds. It very much comes down to principled disagreement on the object level issues.
