Just because reading IDW is causing some people to radicalize doesn't mean it's not correct. Like imagine reading about quantum mechanics consistently led to people believing incorrect theories about spiritual/mystical woo, that wouldn't make quantum physics wrong.

Sure, but note that people are going to take the IDW’s content to be false for reasons independent of what it leads to—this is just another warning sign, or a heuristic that would guide us to that. And we’d have to establish that their claims are reasonable, of course

I should note that I was taking the thought experiment seriously, but wanted to point out that it could fail to bear any actual fruit given how many cases will be similar to the QM one (where the thought experiment doesn’t hold).
