was inconsistent with the pronouns. (A viewpoint character that uses

cultspeak. The thing is, I do want our protagonist to be smart: he
knows probability because he's an ML research engineer. Chloë's
"dignified ... heroic responsibility ... constant vigilance ... fire
alarm" all in one paragraph is supposed to be a purer example of

"assign a low probability", even if the latter is perfectly understood
by non-cultists.

"Hill of Validity": rewrite ending

This was terrible writing on my part; I had summarized something Ben
said, which made sense to us at the time, but isn't a clear
explanation for my readers now.

Someone argued in my PMs that the link was harmful for spreading
private personal information, and I was initially inclined to take a
principled anti-censorship stand. (The link is a relevant exhibit
about the incident being discussed; I'm not endorsing it or going out
of my way to signal-boost it.) Ultimately, I'm deciding to give in
because the link isn't very important to my story and it's not worth
my time to argue about it. Arguably this means I'm not taking a
principled anti-extortion stand, either? On theme!

to procrastinate on this list.) I don't think there's time to find
another. I want to address the issues on this list (or even skip
some), finish my privacy negotiations, and push this out the door. It
shouldn't be more than a week.
