Thanks. The issue you identify is related to what I’m vaguely indicating with “I don’t know how convergence plays out in practical situations”—I thought of trying to explain in more detail, but 5 minutes of effort didn’t yield a clear explanation and I was keen to get something out rather than spend a long times tidying up all the loose ends.
Although it’s also worth noting that the general merging of opinions result doesn’t depend on long run relative frequencies (which is to say: I think “point distribution over books read” is a useful image of why convergence concerns might bite, but it doesn’t capture the precise difficulty with convergence)
