This is another case of Goodhart's Law. If you update your priors based on being asked about A->B, people can take advantage of that fact, which changes whether it is a good idea to update your prior on being asked about A->B.
That wasn't quite the argument. It was that you should update when asked about A->B if it looked like there prima facie appeared a solid argument for it, even if you were sure it had a flaw somewhere. So it was never automatic.
