Eliezer's writings have *defined* Friendliness (capital F). Eugen hasn't yet
even read the definition... yet. One can only learn about a subject from
someone who knows something about it. Learning from a multipliciy of sources
is an excellent idea :-)
But it is a good idea to make reasonably sure that the sources are
well-informed, lest one waste time reading tripe.
