I’d split it up a bit differently. “How much effort” versus “What actual reason does anyone else have to agree with this?”. The latter isn’t quite the same as “what empirical testing has it had?” but I think it’s the more important question.
However, “Epistemic effort” as proposed here (1) probably does correlate pretty well with “how much reason to agree?”, (2) also gives information about the separate question “how seriously is this person taking this discussion?” and (3) is probably easier to give an accurate account of than “what actual reason …”.
“What actual reason does anyone else have to agree with this?”
I think this formulation is a bit iffy, since the monkey-mind might easily have a LOT of reasons to agree with something without any of these reasons being connected to correctly reflecting reality.
