This is a side-note, but I dislike the EA jargon terms hinge/hingey/hinginess and think we should use the term “critical juncture” and “criticalness” instead. This is the common term used in political science, international relations and other social sciences. Its better theorised and empirically backed than “hingey”, doesn’t sound silly, and is more legible to a wider community.
