I wrote (in Hebrew, alas) two years ago, about locally-useful methods that doesn’t have stopping condition. I’m sure there are people out there that will benefit from exposure. the attitude you described come from them, and from people whose bubble includes mostly them.
the problem is the luck of stopping condition. who many tries before you decide this method doesn’t work? before stopping and re-evaluating? before trying something else instead?
also, what Scott Alexander wrote about exposure, and Trapped Priors.
I think you make the same mistake the exposure people do? you. are in a bubble when insight is what needed, so you advocate insight without stopping condition.
the interesting question, to me, is when, in for who long, try either.
