Two Contrasts: Folk Craft versus Folk Science and Belief versus Opinion

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Machine Theory of Mind (2018, background): “…others’ (e.g. Gordon, 1986; Gallese & Goldman, 1998), our ultimate human understanding of other agents is not measured by a 1-1 correspondence between our models and the mechanistic ground truth, but instead by how much these models afford for tasks such as prediction and planning (Dennett, 1991).”
Probabilistic Recursive Reasoning for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (2019, unknown): “In everyday life, people use this inborn ability to reason about others’ behaviors (Gordon, 1986), plan effective interactions (Gallese & Goldman, 1998), or match with the folk psychology (Dennett, 1991).”
The duality of mind: an historical perspective (2009, background): “Some argue that it is more craft than science — a heuristic device, which involves no assumptions about the structure of the mind (e.g. Dennett 1987, 1991c).”
