Inconsistency over ensemble... depends. It can be fox over hedgehog thinking style. Depending on how loose+broad the ensemble under consideration is, I actually trust it more. By Tetlock’s work, time/ensemble might in fact be coupled via a sort of superforecasting ergodicity

Ensemble consistency in hedgehog sense is dogmaticism. Grand unified theory preference. Coupling happens via fact that pragmatic world views are rarely purist dogmas. They are perpetual beta with some inconsistency at any time.

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." — Emerson This effect I think is about both ensemble and time consistency. Rigid dogma across ensemble leading to inflexibility across time.
