Another thought on dath ilan: notice how much of the work of Keltham’s reasoning is based on him pattern-matching to tropes from dath ilani literature, and then trying to evaluate their respective probabilities. In other words: like bayesianism, he’s mostly glossing over the “hypothesis generation” step of reasoning.
I wonder if dath ilan puts a lot of effort into spreading a wide range of tropes because they don’t know how to teach systematically good hypothesis generation.
I think you are overgeneralizing. We also see some mix of Dath Ilan, stories about Dath Ilan, stories about stories about Dath Ilan, and interactions between these, so all bets are off really.
