From my perspective, Radical Probabilism is a gateway drug.
This post seemed to be praising the virtue of returning to the lower-assumption state. So I argued that in the example given, it took more than knocking out assumptions to get the benefit.
So, while I agree, I really don’t think it’s cruxy.
It wasn’t meant to be. I agree that logical inductors seem to de facto implement a Virtuous Epistemic Process, with attendent properties, whether or not they understand that. I just tend to bring up any interesting-seeming thoughts that are triggered during conversation and could perhaps do better at indicating that. Whether its fine to set it aside provisionally depends on where you want to go from here.

Agreed. Simple Bayes is the hero of the story in this post, but that’s more because the simple bayesian can recognize that there’s something beyond.
