The less charitable interpretation is that he hasn’t.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1161894981503614977 …

P.S. My use of PG’s take to open this thread makes the effect more obvious. Like, you probably read and evaluated it in a way colored by that explicit initial context. But it wasn’t necessary for the argument and risked distorting it on predictable lines.

This wasn’t actually intentional. It was just sloppy (and habit because I try to quote things that provoked ideas on here.) However, it accidentally clarifies. The only difference is that most of the time you don’t see the reference that affects your perception.
