I’m not trying to troll, sorry if it seems this way. I really don’t understand why you have a problem with “(autistic)” but don’t have a problem with a “terrible leader”. This seems inconsistent to me. As far as I can see all of your arguments apply to both of these. My title still seems justified to me.
This was intended to highlight that caring about harms to “bad leaders” and caring about harms to to autistic people are meaningfully different. I care about the latter, and don’t really care at all about theformer. I’m assuming from the downvotes that this was not clear.
What’s stopping you changing that here? Your article is nothing to do with autism. Changing the title would take less time than you’ve spent arguing in this thread, and improve the article in the eyes of at least two people (probably more judging from the upvotes) who feel strongly enough about it to have spent time engaging with you about it.

I don’t have a problem admitting a mistake and in fact in the past I have changed the title of the post based on people telling me that it wasn’t justified: https://old.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/gn55rx/ignore_any_paper_based_on_selfreported_data/fvcfskr/
It’s a lot easier to learn to be a better leader than it is to learn not to be autistic...

I’m surprised that you care about harms to autistic people but not to bad leaders. Are people born to be bad leaders somehow more deserving of that?
How is this relevant?......

I believe I’m right and I do not believe in giving in to the mob.
Thank you for saying this.
