[Ian] In fact I was tempted to respond to this from Arlo .... "...As I tell students I work with, the simplest progression is "A said B. A was wrong about B. This is why A was wrong about B. I propose C instead of B. Here's why C is better." Each step in this progression is subject to examination for accuracy, and you can't conflate criticism with one step as criticism for another (or all)."
That this is the problem. It's all criticism, the cart before the horse. Nothing before the disagreement. [Arlo] Except, what I wrote is not "criticism" by any stretch of that word. It's a simple presentation of a process. Could I have been more elaborate? Perhaps. But I guess I am used to working with people who wouldn't need this process elaborated upon. Apparently, I was wrong. (Yes, you can count THAT as "criticism".) I am tempted to point out that your reply to this, however, was all criticism. And you didn't follow your Dennett-steps yourself. [Ian] Criticism is to be used very, very, very, very sparingly, and only after 1, 2 and 3 are established in the conversation. [Arlo] Do as I say, not as I do, eh? (Count that as a bonus "criticism".)
