I’m not sure what points you’ll end up making (wrt point #2), but I just want to state that this approach makes sense to me. It’s often productive to think through simple cases, or cases where our data are better, and then try to think explicitly about whether the lessons learned there should carry over to other cases that are in some ways more difficult to analyze.

In philosophy, a common saying is “It’s best not to try to do philosophy all at once.” Very much in the spirit of this comment and Jonah’s point #3.
Some of the ones I had in mind are those that are in my prior posts. But more to follow :-)
