After Bhavesh’s mail and your response, I thought maybe I’d hold off on this mail. But with a stream of emails telling you to keep at it, I fear a reversion to type. I’ve been a serial letter-writer, I think my first was in 2015/16 when Abhinandan used to prod Manisha and Arunav to speak up. :-).
I think all my letters have said the same thing. You have an unfortunate tendency to conflate criticism as a demand for ‘ideological monkey-balancing’. But the real problem is hot takes. I know you have thought-through positions when you’re on other podcasts (eg. on charcha even, or when Abhinandan was on the Pakistan experience or Manisha on The Seen and the Unseen).
