What is the point of this post?
'How would I explain it if I wake up and my left arm is replaced with a tentacle?' and ' How would I explain it if Godzilla attacks?' are similar questions. Except Godzilla is more on your mind, because no one makes a movie about how my arm was replaced by a tentacle, but it's easy to come up with drama about a giant fire snorting lizard.
Calibration and the proper roles of revision of hypotheses vs. replacement.
Although I see where you talk about calibration and choices between revision and replacement of hypothesis, I did not learn anything new about these subjects from the post.
Fair criticism. It's hard to know what the quality threshold for posting should be. Ideally bad posts would net negative karma for feedback purposes but people are unfortunately reluctant to downvote.
Seconded.
