The irony being if RRs become the norm in science, Chris will be held up in years to come as a great visionary :)

lol that will never happen, I assure you, but in the bizzare event that it does, it's a prize that belongs to at least 100 people including more than a few dead ones.

Unfortunately, none of us get to decide our perceived legacy (if we have one at all). You can see the "great man" thing still going on though. I have seen people on twitter who would say they are against the concept, and then write pieces about certain AI visionaries

I think that is the key question. I can design a very thorough and careful study to measure the exact time that the sun rises tomorrow. Is that a great study? Why not? There's something crucial about the uncertainty of expected results that is hard to define formally.

I think the closest you could come is to specify it in Bayesian form, but then you're going to end up in a battle over priors.

Thus I guess one could say that the intuition of the scientific community becomes the standard against which studies are judged. It's not perfect, but we don't have anything better.

Sure, but theory is also judged against the intuition of the community. The theories themselves might be formal, but the evaluation of whether they are a contribution is up to the wisdom of the scientific crowd. I'm not saying this is ideal, I just don't see a better approach.

I may be wrong, but I thought the higher point herein was that intuitions can change and should be changed — and different things can be weighted differently. One thing that sticks out is the lack of a heavy weight on a good theory (however evaluated) in the above tweets.

Agreed. And the community would need more/different training in theory to be able to develop better intuitions about quality of theory and theoretical research. At present that training is largely lacking IMHO.
