Ok, well the two Yudkowksianisms that are relevant here are: 1. It's fallacious to assume people with different opinions have extraordinary character 2. The amount of evidence required to raise a theory to the level of attention is already most of the proof of a theory

not sure how 1 has bearing, but i can address 2 (because it relates to his naive induction) positive evidence has no bearing on the validity of a theory- so a *bunch* of evidence doesn't prove *anything*- it's *thwarted expectations* that *always* raise things into awareness

His induction is somewhat naive but not as naive as this. I suggest rereading the appropriate portions of the sequences.
