I summarize this discussion thus: Progress in our
century amounts to building computational models of mental processes that have escaped scrutiny under slippery terms such as "design" "discovery" "background knowledge"
"familiarity" "fieldwork". etc. Saying "DAGs are not enough"

2/ produces no progress until one is prepared to propose a mathematical model for what IS enough. The IV criterion I presented is necessary for justification, so keep it in mind and teach it to natural experimentalists who should be jubilant seeing their IV's justified. 2/3
3/3 We should always be open to extensions and refinements, but mystification holds us back. We had enough of that in the 20th century. #Bookofwhy
