I think that (hinges on timelines) is right. Other than the first, I think most of my suggestions come at minimal cost to short-timelines-world, and will help with minimising friction/reputational hit in long-timelines world. Re: the first, not delivering the strongest (and least hedged) version of argument may weaken the message for short-timelines world. But I note that even within this community, there is wide uncertainty and disagreement re: timelines; very short timelines are far from consensus.
