That actually seems like the prediction market sort of did its job in this case? I mean, 27% yes is still too high, but actually changing in response to real evidence is much better than my low low expectations for prediction markets. It seems like he should take his own advice and actually take the prediction market seriously in this case.
And I think the odds of "yes" started out high because someone best $10-20k only to withdraw it after reading the ACX post. Most people can't afford to invest thousands of dollars in a bet that may never be resolved.
