Thanks! I’m not sure if there is a significant difference about how we’d actually make decisions (I mean, on prior there is probably some difference). But I agree that the single heuristics I mentioned above doesn’t by itself do a great job of describing when and how much to defer, and I agree with your “counterexamples”. (Though note that in principle it’s not surprising if there are counterexamples to a “mere heuristics”.)
I particularly appreciate you describing the “Role expectations” point. I agree that something along those lines is important. My guess is that if we would have debated specific decisions I would have implicitly incorporated this consideration, but I don’t think it was clear to me before reading your comment that this is an important property that will often influence my judgment about how much to defer.
