No wonder people choose to remember a subset of the full quote: “Since all models are wrong the scientist must be alert to what is importantly wrong. It is inappropriate to be concerned about mice when there are tigers abroad.”

To be clear, when I said it's science it wasn't to undermine your point but to say that it's something so central and yet overlooked.

Ah yes, well understood! About ‘QRP being not-modeling’, the nuance I had wanted to bring in was that also among modelers there is heuristification. I just think it is a pervasive human tendency (esp. when dealing with high resource demands under resource limitations).
-
Oh, and culture. I mean, among modelers there can also be a strong sentiment ‘this is just how we do things’, and if what you say does not fit our way of doing things my model is not wrong but *you* are.

I'm always flummoxed and jealous when people say "among cognitive modellers"... Where do you all hang out so much? I'm almost always alone or just with 1-2 others.

I don't have enough variance to generalise.

I mean mostly at conferences, workshops, in reviews etc. But yes, I have been lucky to have a few modelers around occassionally, but hardly enough of them! Still quite rare ...
-
I haven't seen this at conferences. Typically at conferences where it's just modellers the biggest issue was older men being creeps. Modelling-wise I felt things were good and people weren't so monolithic/authoritarian.

I have seen it from very specific groups. But I hope/believe they don't represent us as a community.
