a safe way how to read the paper is as academic economy—the paper says what happens if you solve a particular set of equations
while the variable names used in the equations appear to point toward reality, in fact it is almost completely unclear if the model is a reasonable map of at least some aspect of the territory
Overall I think a good check for EAs if they should update based on this result is
would you be able to make different set of at first glance reasonable assumptions of the same type, leading to opposite conclusions?
where if the answer is “no”, I would suggest people basically should not update.
In my view
