Anyway the police/city metaphor and the idea that a paper type can help modelling seems too off to me to be of use for modelling. As well as a bit off to be told what our work is like or what our environment is like from those who don't do modelling.

I thought the point was to respect experts and modellers are experts not just on modelling itself but also how they and their work is treated by wider psych/cogsci/neurosci.

Thanks for clarifying. I think we completely agree. Modeling expertise is a form of theorising and experts in modeling need to be part of any reform we might be undergoing. Mine is an argument for diversity in any reform process and I agree the city metaphor is inappropriate.

If you learn anything in philosophy it's that metaphors can be distracting.

I can't hate it that much because if you, Chris, hadn't used it I would not have realised how we see the world differently in this case.

It's possible that b/c so much time working to change existing systems from the inside, with all their imperfections & rules, policies & so forth, that my views are a bit restricted - and so I usually tend to see things through a "systems lens", if that makes sense.
