Ah, one meta thing to keep in mind, is that as a Bayesian it’s actually sort of hard to even understand what Gigerenzer could possibly mean sometimes. Gigerenzer understands and appreciates Bayesianism, so I knew I had to just be entirely missing something about what he was saying. E.g., I was shocked when he said that the conjunction rule wasn’t a fundamental rule of probability and only applied in certain cases. I mean, what? It falls directly out of the axioms! Nonetheless when I reread his arguments a few times I realized he actually had an important meta-statistical point. Anyway, that’s just one point to keep in mind when reading Gigerenzer, since you and I lean Bayesian. (As we should: Bayes really is a lot better.)
Would you prefer a discussion post, email, or a comment reply here? (I’ll want to write a long response that covers all the points all that once, at least about Gigerenzer etc.)

Okay. I also look forward to hearing what specific meta-statistical point you think Gigerenzer was making.

Discussion post, I suppose.
Has this happened yet? I didn’t miss it, right?
Correct, I’ll be sure to let you know when it happens.
