Thanks, I appreciate your enthusiasm! I’m still not sure how much sense all of this makes.
I agree with your simplicity point, but it may be possible to ignore this by talking about what’s learned in the limit. If strategic manipulation is disincentivized, then strategic manipulators will eventually lose. We might still expect strategic manipulators in practice, because they might be significantly simpler. But a theory of partial agency can examine the limiting behavior separately from the prevalence of manipulators in the prior.

I agree with your other points.
