There is a substantial history of people ignoring the existing formal work in psychology, even as they look longingly at physics and wonder why we can't be like them. It's frustrating for those of us who have already been building such models for decades.

Agreed. Perhaps these quarrels and misinterpretations would lessen if we would realise that psychology as a field is very varied, uses different methods and has different purposes, that one specific area cannot represent and less so set the canons for all others.

We certainly would gain by reading more about what others are doing or have already done and stop reinventing the wheel. This doesn’t not only apply to different areas. In this context, theory and modelling is are keystone.

TBF many modellers also reinvent the wheel. So this advice is a universal maxim.

Precisely!
