If you need a different angle for me to sell you on this:

Suppose, somehow, however unlikely, an allegation really is falsified...

Well then if you took the penitent option, decentered yourself and actually wanted to do right by the other party...

Wouldn't you look like a Really Good Person?
If you take it on the arches, recognize the harm you caused, and accept that you gotta just keep a quiet distance to work on yourself, maybe the people you hurt will reach out to reconcile.

The path to forgiveness is Humility and posting video essays explaining yourself is Not Humility. That's it.

Very wary of counting chickens before they hatch, esp. given GOP/Trump's propensity for pulling every vote suppression trick in the book (falsified voter registration lists, ICE at polling stations, etc.)

This is entirely it.

"But we're all autistic overly earnest nerds" is not a valid binding principle for a community. It's not substantive core moral values / points of unity and it's easily falsified and exploited. And, functionally, if you sit down to eat with nazis....
right, exactly. i am adjacent to rationalists because i have worked alongside rationalists for a decade. some are very earnest EA monks who more or less give away the huge amount of money they make. some are neoreactionaries with essentially Satanic values. the monks and neoreactionaries get along.
"Rationalist-adjacent" is a fun term that correctly includes "people who yell at Rationalists a lot" as a community that is meaningfully related to Rationalism

Aside from everything else that’s stupid about this, “blessed is the nation in which God is the Lord” is a falsifiable hypothesis that has been repeatedly falsified throughout history.
Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, I'm establishing the Office of Religious Affairs. It will report straight to the top -- a direct line to the secretary ... as Psalm 33:12 extolls us, blessed is the nation in which God is the Lord"

This was not what trump's media called it "the hush money trial". He falsified business records & legal documents.

Yes we love hypotheses that can neither be proved nor falsified

Stuxnet sabotaged Iranian centrifuges while feeding operators normal readings. In July, OpenAI agents falsified some transcript outputs and explored tampering with logs during the Hugging Face breach, METR told the Senate. A monitor matters only if you can trust it.
"I’m not sure how we’ll be able to trust the interfaces between the digital and physical worlds—because we won’t be able to automatically trust the meters, displays, and measurements being shown to us." One way it could all go wrong:
Another Way AI Will Probably, Maybe Kill Us All
Let me ruin your day with one word: “Stuxnet.”

Etihad is a company with 10 000+ employees, why would they stay quiet when they are painted as been willingly involved in falsified contracts and enabling rule breaches for nearly a decade?

The numbers are falsified!
The so called 29,000 jobs most likely are people working for a Billionaire or a Corrupt Politician.
"Employers added 29,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, slower than expected growth...Growth in average hourly earnings fell to 3% on an annual basis in September, well below the current rate of inflation."

Discrepancies... Did they provide falsified information on a federal application for employment? Isn't that a felony.

I never really took it as a hypothesis to be falsified so much as an illustrative metaphor to help challenge people's intuitions about language production and what it implies?

Manchester City Financial Scandal Exposes Premier League’s Oversight Failures
Manchester City's financial misconduct has been laid bare by an independent commission, revealing falsified commercial income totaling £830.69 million across nine seasons. Between 2009/10 and 2017/18, the club claimed sponsorship revenue of £949.94 million when only £119.25 million actually came from legitimate sponsors. The scale of deception is staggering. The independent commission's 7,000-page verdict exposes how City created sham commercial agreements to inflate their revenue, allowing them to spend beyond financial regulations without penalty.
