Possibly pedantic nitpick...
I thought "Inside View" and "Outside View" referred to predictions derived from a thorough, assumption-laden* mechanism-based model for something, and predictions derived from embedding the thing in a class of roughly similar things, respectively. You seem to be using the phrases to distinguish between in-group and out-group criticism.
* This isn't pejorative; the assumptions may be well-supported.
I second that changing terminology to "In-group view" and "Out-group view" or something like that would be much appreciated.
"Inside view" vs "Outside view" distinction is one of the most important concept of rationality and we should try to stay clear about it.
