The number forces precision. The practice of forcing yourself to be precise allows the development of more mental categories.
I will have to explore this further. At the moment the method seems to me to just give an illusion of precision which I am not sure is effective. I could say that I assign a 5% probability that the practice is useful to represent my belief. I will now keep interacting with the community and update my belief according to the evidence I see from people that are using it. Is this the right approach?

The word “useful” itself isn’t precise and as such the precision of 5% might be more precise than warranted.
Otherwise having your number and then updating it according to what you see from people using it, is the Bayesian way.
How would you express the belief?
