*YES*!!!

This is right thinking.  I posited "well-curated corpus of data regarding
social policy" because I had not properly "placed you as in computer based
education" so I failed to properly "tailor my LLM to your biases".

As I've described on multiple occasions in the past in various terms:
To a *first
order approximation of reality*, all that matters is a commitment to "seek
*coherence* within the data it's fed".  In my not so humble opinion,
coherence/consistency/consilience is *measurable as lossless compression*.

The thing that put me off about your approach -- which I admit to not
having comprehended well enough to criticize -- was not its focus on
propositional logic (which is proper) but rather that I didn't
*immediately* see
where *attribution aka provenance* fit into phenomenology. In the example I
like to trot out on these occasions:  If a company produces thermometers
that are all 1C off and one is trying to make sense of a bunch of physics
data from a variety of sources, it is important to reify the identity of
that company that may be *latent in the data*.  Why?  Isn't the reason
obvious?  This is where the entire ML field is off in left field in their
premature concern about *algorithmic bias* which places normative
*values* about
what *ought* to be the case (ie: "Don't say anything racist.") above truth
discovery.

We may disagree on what we conjecture to be the yet-to-be-discovered truth
about society, and we may disagree on the things that we value as
individuals, but we can at least agree that The Road To Hell Is Paved With
Good Intentions Ignorant of The Truth.

Agreed?
