I can of course provide full detailed, but in the interest of keeping it as general as possible (or, to understand where further generalization is not possible), I want to get deeper on this before provide more specifics.
I agree that “you are reasoning badly from evidence we agree on” or “you need to both measure and reason a lot more clearly” are also reasonable interpretations of “you are reasoning too much”. But isn’t that the other sentence “You should try it first” makes the “you are empirically testing too little” interpretation more likely?
Can you simplify “idiosyncratic triggers of internal states”? Also, if most people are bad observers, then wouldn’t that it’s more helpful for them to have direct experience with it?
Do you mean that how the evidence is obtained in different problems and domains determines whether saying “You should try it first. You are reasoning too much” is still giving reasons on why T₁ is better? Can you elaborate or give examples?
I suppose it’s because Bob isn’t aware of all the things he needs to say before posting the question, and Alice assumes on what he needs while he thinks he doesn’t need it.
