I'll buy that. The prevalence of that was probably a little different in biomed vs math/CS, too. So, if we want to improve reproducibility, does EM have suggestions about what to do differently from what we're now doing?

I don’t think so…. at least, I haven’t thought of anything! It’s applicable to discovery more than testing, I think. And it’s mostly (imo) not directly applicable. Rather, the EM understanding of “circumrationality” is an enabling condition for understanding “metarationality” >
