I’m skeptical that Leverage’s intention research is well described as them trying to extract wisdom out of an existing framework that someone outside of Leverage created. They were interested in doing original research on related phenomena.
It’s unclear to me how to do a cost-benefit analysis when doing original research in any domain.
If I look at credence calibration as a phenomenon to investigate and do original research that research involves playing around with estimating probabilities it’s hard to know beforehand which exercises will create benefits. Original research involves persuing a lot of strains that won’t pan out.
Credence calibration is similar to the phenomenon of vibes that Leverage studied in the sense that it’s a topic where it’s plausible that some value is gained by understanding the underlying phenomena better. It’s unclear to me how you would do the related cost-benefit analysis because it’s in the nature of doing original research that you don’t really know the fruits of your works beforehand.
