I see a lot of mistakes pointed out here, but also a lot of claims about preferences, many contradictory. Are there any plans to A/B test stuff or at least something more rigorous than 'I agree with X, that blue is too dark'?

Probably not; too expensive.

You make that sound like it's a bad thing. Are you sure humans are better at multi-armed bandit problems than algorithms?

I'm pretty sure they're not, which is why I am questioning your enthusiasm for such an ad hoc library.
