Let’s be honest: both the original post and this rebuttal are basically long form tweets, not intellectually convincing arguments. They are so vague that you can read almost whatever you want into them
The rebuttal is literally "long form tweets" ( https://twitter.com/anildash/status/941431220952584196 ). Sam's post is presumably something he edited and had people check over before he posted it. That's not to negate your essential argument, but the two pieces do have different origins.
I'll concede the rebuttal is literally a long form tweet.
Sorry to be pedantic, this reply hadn't appeared when I posted my response yet.
