Re: "it comes from CFAR, which is an anti-endorsement."
I find that a large majority of people who have a moderate-to-strong negative opinion of CFAR have either a) never subjected that opinion to falsification or b) not checked in since forming the opinion a long time ago.
Generally speaking, when I engage with such people, they come away much less hesitant or skeptical or critical, and I believe this is because of justified updates rather than because of e.g. me having a persuasive reality distortion field.
Most of the updates come in one of the following forms:
Ah, okay, CFAR's made significant improvements along this axis that I was right to criticize it on.
Ah, okay, CFAR
I appreciate pretty much everything about your reply up above.
Agreement that there was a false equivalency re: right now vs. ever.
Agreement that my phrasing presupposed an outcome (though that makes sense when you take the context of "the guy talking is the curriculum director at CFAR"). I predict that outcome, optimistically, but in fact the actual target should be and is "investigate" not "repair."
Unfortunately for the goal of record-keeping and evidence-creation, most of those interactions have taken place in person. I could generate stories about what they're like, but a better option seems to be "start taking notes now when they happen, and ask permission to make said notes public with reasonable anonymity."
Thanks for responding 100% positively/exactly as I would hope a LWer would respond. I'd love it if you let me know if I myself am not living up to that standard, as you gently did above.
