Your first paragraph is a good analysis (enough to merit an upvote of the comment as a whole). Your second seems redundant; I don’t think anyone would interpret the quoted phrase of non-technical English to mean that you should actually raise your estimate of the theory that doesn’t permit laziness relative to other theories not under consideration, and if you have two theories both of which are equally wrong, it doesn’t matter much what you do to differentiate them.
