I'd wager 10 karma points against 1 that this is not the desire Eliezer has imagined for Brennan.
I'd only wager 5 against 1 that he has a specific desire imagined for Brennan.
(Thus begins the prediction market for the Bardic Conspiracy...)
You win, naturally.
I can think of a desire that Brennan might have, and indeed had it in mind at the time; but since it doesn't appear in the story, it would seem that my particular belief is not particularly privileged...
...but I agree with you that Brennan's desire is almost certainly not "a better way to train Bayesian masters", that would be way the hell out of his revealed character.
