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.
CS = compsci? No idea, haven't heard this but maybe you're right? I'm an Experimental Psychology department and have been since I left compsci for cogsci, etc, in 2009.

I find it a little disturbing but not too surprising that a side-thread exists where modelling without data is seen as anathema/misplaced. So i'm glad we all like it in this tiny patch of the twittersphere.

It IS disturbing ... especially in cogsci. I wonder sometimes, what went wrong since the birth of cogsci

Me too! Sometimes I even think I know the answer.

What do you think? Curious. Or should I not ask?
