Sorry, I don't read lesswrong stuff.
Edit Okay for your sake, I did. It ends with "Screening off does not just apply to probability, it also applies to causality. If A causes B and B causes C, once you know the state of B, A provides no further information." which is such a laughably incorrect statement because it mistakenly treats a cause as having only one effect.
Less wrong is a bunch of people who think they understand Bayes better than they do.
