    It is not the case that Therefore, treating such deviations as informationally inert violates the Bayesian rationality assumptions that ground game-theoretic reasoning itself.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Some deviations reflect measurement error or noise, not meaningful information; distinguishing signal from noise is logically prior to Bayesian updating.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Game-theoretic models can remain rational while bracketing certain deviations; ignoring noise is standard practice in all empirical sciences.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Deviations may reflect non-rational factors (fatigue, emotion) that don't undermine rational theory, only its domain of application.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Bayesian rationality requires updating beliefs on all available evidence; deviations contain information about agent preferences or reasoning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Game-theoretic predictions depend on accurate models of opponent behavior; ignoring deviations systematically produces false predictions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Treating deviations as noise rather than signal commits a category error—it presupposes the theory it should test.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
