Isn't it absurd that we have to congratulate this man - and, I'm not making light of it, I'm glad he did it - but that we have to congratulate him for......... being willing to defend his point of view and hear out someone who disagrees. Wow, revolutionary right!

I work in industrial R&D - this is a daily occurrence in the design and management of complex system. The products would die in no time if we never had to do this and could run down rabbit holes holding hands with those who agree with us. Only academics and others sufficiently insulated from the real-world consequences of their actions can get away with a refusal to engage.

The fundamental problem here, imo, is that the burden of persuasion is in the wrong place: it is Ozonoff and those on his side of this who should bear - and meet - that burden NOT SK et al. It is because the burden is in the wrong place that their side is under no pressure to even form a coherent argument.
