    LOL from the comments

    […] “people having unreasonably high expectations for epistemics in published work” is definitely a cost of dealing with EAs!

      It is funny as in my exp this unreasonably high expectations for epistemics only applies to things they disagree with, see for example the LW guy used a IQ and education list published by a tabloid (which the tabloid said it had from a different source, but it wasn’t linked). Vs saying something they disagree with which requires you to not only produce the scientific article you got it from, but also the specific paragraph from the article, and a list of steelmanned counterarguments.
