If it produces successful advance predictions—if you do new experiments to test the idea and they seem to come out pretty much the right way—then it’s probably working well enough.
Agreed. But that’s mostly not what goes by the name. Also, massive modularity isn’t necessarily due to genetic biases.
T&C Evo Psych consists of a number of logically distinct hypotheses, some of which are true but obvious, some true and non-obvious, some false.
Most Evo Psych is basically what I just described.
