The final idea would be like yours, more Bayesian thinking.
What do you mean with that? Especially while you try to treat Popper as an important thinker?
Updating priors with evidence. Standing by your beliefs seems to be praised - at least where I live.
I consider Popper as an important thinker, falsification is quite important right now for example. Why do you seem to think he's unimportant ?
My favorite is that people get credit for updating based on evidence.
The more common reaction is for people to get criticized (by themselves and others) for not having known the truth sooner.
