I agree that this seems like a very promising direction.
Beyond that, we of course want our class of random variables to be reasonably general and cognitively plausible as an approximation—e.g. we shouldn’t assume some specific parametric form.
Could you elaborate on this; “reasonably general” sounds to me like the redundancy axiom, so I’m unclear about whether this sentence is an intuition pump.

That sentence was mostly just hedging. The intended point was that the criteria which we focused on in the post aren’t necessarily the be-all end-all.
