One factor distinguishing the Lawful metatool is the expectation of hidden, nonobvious simplicity and generality. If Jaynes had possessed *more* faith in probability, he might have been more likely to extend it to non-omnisicient distributions on quantified sentences.

Well, that’s very interesting, and makes sense! I definitely do not have an expectation of hidden simplicity. Perhaps that fundamental prior is what distinguishes our worldviews.
