How is that in conflict with my point? As superforecasters spend more time talking and sharing information with one another, maybe they have already incorporated extremising into their own forecasts.
Doesn’t this clearly demonstrate that the superforecasters are not using modest epistemology? At best, this shows that you can improve upon a “non-modest” epistemology by aggregating them together, but does not argue against the original post.
It’s an interesting just so story about what IARPA has to say about epistemology, but the actual story is much more complicated. For instance, the fact that “Extremizing” works to better calibrate general forecasts, but that extremizing of superforecaster’s predictions makes them worse.
Furthermore, that contrary to what you seem to be claiming about people not being able to outperform others, there are in fact “superforecasters” who out perform the average participant year after year, even if they can’t outperform the aggregate when their forecasts are factored in.
