I agree that the tone was too tribalistic, but the content is correct.
(Seems a bit like a side-topic, but you can read more about Leverage on this EA Forum post and, even more importantly, in the comments. I hope that’s useful for you! The comments definitely changed my views—negatively—about the utility of Leverage’s outputs and some cultural issues.)
I’ve read it. I’d guess we have similar views on Leverage, but different views on CEA. I think it’s very easy for well-intentioned, generally reasonable people’s epistemics to be corrupted via tribalism, motivated reasoning, etc.
But as I said above I’m unsure.
Edited to add: Either way, might be a distraction to debate this sort of thing further. I’d guess that we both agree in practice that the allegations should be taken seriously and investigated carefully, ideally by independent parties.
