I'm saying the people who made an evidence-based value judgement in this case would never consider doing the same for a natural dam. But maybe I'm wrong.

- ajross 7y agoIsn't the more obvious hypothesis that those people DID make an evidence-based value judgement and decided differently? Your argument only seems to work if you start by assuming bad faith on the part of environmentalists. How about you trust us instead?
- icebraining 7y agoNot bad faith, just bias! I do trust environmentalists, more than I trust basically everyone else in the public sphere. But there's a reason the article keeps using the word conservationist instead :)
