Not every line in 37 Ways is my “standard Bayesian philosophy,” nor do I believe much of what you say follows from anything standard.
This probably isn’t our central disagreement, but humans are Adaptation-Executers, not Fitness-Maximizers. Expecting humans to always use words for Naive Bayes alone seems manifestly irrational. I would go so far as to say you shouldn’t expect people to use them for Naive Bayes in every case, full stop. (This seems to border on subconsciously believing that evolution has a mind.) If you believe someone is making improper inferences, stop trying to change the subject and name an inference you think they’d agree with (that you consider false).
