To put it simply: I don’t get it. If meta-reasoning corrupts your object-level reasoning, you’re probably doing meta-reasoning wrong
Of course, I didn’t say “corrupts ”. If you don’t engage in meta level reasoning , you won’t know what your object level reasoning is capable of, for better or worse. So you don’t get get to assume your object level reasoning is fine just because you’ve never thought about it. So meta level reasoning is revealing flaws, not creating them.
Taking a step back from the details, it seems like what’s going on here is that I’m suggesting there are multiple possible views (IE we can spell out abstract rationality to support the idea of Agreement or to deny it), and you’re complaining about the idea of multiple possible views.
What matters is whether there is at least one view that works, that solves epistemology. If what you mean by “possible” is some lower bar than working fully and achieving all the desiderata, that’s not very interesting because everyone know there are multiple flawed theories.
If you can spell out an abstract rationality to achieve Agreement, and Completeness and Consistency, and. … then by all means do so. I have not seen it done yet.
