lazy signaling of “I am a good Bayesian” without actually doing the work
In most cases doing the work has no direct practical value. Most of the value is in practicing for the rare occasions where it does matter. Neither fake nor excessive practice is useful, so the norm to always be practicing is harmful.
(In this case saying things without doing the work is not signaling of anything. Succeeding in systematically doing the work would signal things that can’t be separated by this activity from being beholden to the harmful norm.)
