Eliezer can say whether curi’s view is a correct reading of that article, but it seems to me that if Bayesian reasoning is the core that works, but humans do a lot of other stuff as well that is all either useless or harmful, and don’t even know the gold from the dross, then this is not in contradiction with demonstrating that the other stuff is due to Popperian reasoning. It rather counts against Popper though. Or at least, Popperianism.
