My thought is that if data and model comparison has already been used to find strong individual models, those should be a good foundation for using sims to develop theory about groups.

So your goal is to 'develop theory'? That is a (long-term) process in my opinion. Not one shot that can be completed in a single paper. Perhaps this viewpoint not shared with reviewers?

Yes this is something that I am trying to be more explicit. But progress can be made within a paper? My thought is it's a temporal priority issue. In psych, the default is that theory has to wait for data - not sure this should always be the case

I'm with you on this. I recognize what you say: psychologists think theory needs to wait for data. I think this is a (huge) mistake.

I think part of the crisis in psychology comes from this default assumption; though few recognize it as such.

To be clear, I also do not think data need to (always) wait for theory.

Rather I think we should have healthy and solid theoretical *and* empirical lines of research that inform each other. But not all integration can happen in single papers; that would force superficiality (or monster papers).

Having been thinking for a while that there is a philosophy paper to be written here on what I call effect fetishism.

Seems to me a much needed message! (This is btw related to the points made by philosopher Cummins in the chapter I tweeted earlier--but perhaps you know)

I will need to read it! Currently believe this applies to replication issues. Although deeply important to the field, RR-P itself is a symptom of this (ie testing 100 unrelated effects)

I'm assuming you know about my papers which are just modelling, right?
