This is a special post for quick takes by Wei Dai. Only they can create top-level comments. Comments here also appear on the Quick Takes page and All Posts page.
Citing your track record likely won't be useful in arguments at all, as long as you're just trying to convince your opponent, as a) there's already emotions involved at that point, so your counterpart won't be willing to assess your track record at all / in an unbiased way, and b) it can come across as slightly condescending / appeal to authority.
It might well help with third party readers who are sufficiently aware oft the difficulty of having been right that early. I'm not sure how many there are in this subset.
I can tell you: Your track record would sway me. There are very few people I don't want to disagree with, as I suppose I'm just wrong if we have different opinions / views, and you're one of them. But I have been reading Weidai content for at least 15 years, I doubt a reference to your track record could have achieved anything close to that.
