Even if it did go viral, it seems it would have a pretty low impact on the extent to which EA has greater acceptance.
I think I might agree (and maybe I should take that out of the ToC) but could you elaborate a bit on “why not”?
The base argument is “people see this important insight they were wrong about, they are impressed with the careful evidence and arguments, they see it’s linked to EA, this increases their interest in EA and how much credibility they give EA”… I guess that’s how many of us came into EA, but it’s not said that this would be the dominant path for people exposed to this.
