My point more broadly is that if our fields are in a reform phase, then humanists and theorists should be involved in determining new institutions in that process. More funding for theory, more acknowledgement of different paper/discourse types, etc would all be part of this.

Yes definitely. But the question is whether the misunderstood minority should let the majority group help to set the terms for their own reform. The track record in this process has not been great (IMO) so far.

I feel like maybe I've not been clear. I'm very skeptical of the idea that a paper type will help the kind of science I do. Complex problems needs complex solutions. And I'm not even convinced modelling has any deep problems inherent to any of the many different ways it is done.

There isn't something simple going on with modelling... as I explained many times (e.g., on this account: https://twitter.com/SfPRocur/status/1102957227906949121 …), the issues are very deep and nuanced when they exist AND modelleres already actually do a lot to address them.

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.

One of my special skills is coming up with ideas that everyone hates. It’s harder than you might think.

You mean authoritarianism is something that appeals to some over others? But it's an empirical issue as well: has authoritarian-flavoured science worked well in the past? I believe it hasn't because science isn't something that can be codified nor something monolithic.

I mean I can think of many examples of authoritarian science and it went badly and people died. also just to be clear, the fact that rules might appeal is not exactly the same as an authoritarian, but I think "police" as a metaphor indicates an authoritarian stance.

In most of the institutions I've worked in, departments have grown up with the sole purpose of setting and enforcing standards. In some cases, I was brought in as a consultant with a not-very-hidden agenda of acting as a counter-authority to break their stranglehold.
