Would do you mean by “costly explanations?” If it’s time you mean wouldn’t have thought OpenPhil spending a couple of hours on a question was that costly given the reputational / community confidence importance of a post like this. Or do you mean the explanation could reveal something which could cost OpenPhil money in the future? Or legal cost? Sorry this might be obvious to most people...
Also I think this grant and org could potentially be interpreted as a bit more than “vaguely off” given that the org has already received some negative public scrutiny and doesn’t have a clear track record.
But I also think the “vaguely off” assessment could be reasonable too.
Agree with your take nice one!

Nice one.
