yeah the list makes sense. i thought of a couple more: there’s the thing in aviation where copilots under-report problems because the captain is the recognized expert and ‘probably already knows’. if the expertise gap is big enough, people just stop speaking up. and there’s a survivorship bias thing too, where people who disagree with a community’s core framework just quietly leave rather than fight about it, so you never even know they had something worth hearing.
the intuition point stood out most. you said your intuition articles are fairly recent and probably missing something. so during the actual years you’re describing, if someone on the forum had a feeling that something was off but couldn’t turn it into a formal argument, what were they supposed to do? was there guidance for that?
