As someone who has outgrown that particular community, Yudkowsky has a talent for acting in bad faith argumentatively while not appearing to do so. He relies heavily on convservational implicature and passing along the burden of proof (as he did here) with no intention of being helpful to those that can generally improve his case through criticism or a distinctive aproach, as it would detract from sustaining his perceived position a focal or pioneering contributor. He should be applauded as a popularizer and point of inspiration, but his duplitousness in his argumentative style, once I identfied it, always left a bad taste in my mouth.
