Most training of philosophers goes into training to represent the ideas of other philosophers. But to do that well, you need to be at a level where you could have them yourself, and few philosophers are ever getting there.

In some ways, primitive human understanding can surpass bayesian understanding. Because our brain has millions of years understanding reality through instinct, the heuristics of that sort of understanding can be highly advanced.

I don't think that "primitive" is a concept with the correct connotations here. Human brains with similar brains and development duration will model the universe at a similar level of complexity, regardless of the brand of the conceptual abstractions offered their local village.

Ah. That depends on what you mean by “understand”. Imagine a hunter from an uncontacted tribe in the amazon walking through his jungle alongside Charles Darwin. They spend a week exploring. Who would you say better “understood” what they saw, smelled, heard, and felt?
