I notice that you disagree with his conclusions,
not with his logic or arguments
In that paragraph I can't really see any explicit "logic or arguments".
Or more precisely, I can put a bunch of words into Taleb's mouth to convert that paragraph into an argument taking small steps and supported by statements of fact; but even the strongest interpretation I can come up with seems so weak it would look like I was attacking a straw man.
Perhaps denom didn't dispute Taleb's logic because it isn't stated clearly enough for him to do so?
I notice that you disagree with his conclusions, not with his logic or arguments that he uses to come to those conclusions.
If you think that his conclusions are incorrect (which, btw, is mostly my viewpoint as well), can you point in the direct location in his logic where he makes a mistake? Or an axiomatic assumption that he uses that you don't agree with?
