@aspasia_project I'm confused: do you mean you made your argument so well that it was easy to tell you weren't an outgroup member?

@The_Lagrangian Yes(ish). Multiple choice setting, asked me to identify outgroup justification for policies (and had actual OG answers) -
@The_Lagrangian real OG choices were often though not always what I saw as weakest justification for policy that I'd rejected as caricature -
@aspasia_project the charitable-to-OG interpretation is that steelmanning is relative to a preexisting vocabulary of accepted arguments
-
@aspasia_project and so the thing that sounds *most* steelmanned to you will always sound like not-OG, regardless of who's right
-
@aspasia_project or more generally, there will always be a tradeoff b/w steelmanning and passing ITT, again regardless of who's right
