What a fantastic punchy write-up. Agree with it 100%.
A highlight of the event for me was Chris Donkin and EJ's session (as well as Nick DeVito).
Chris Donkin and I come from very different corners of this particular galaxy but I appreciated the vision he put forward of a psychological science so rigorous in theoretical precision that preregistration becomes unnecessary because the theory alone controls the bias. I think we are far off from achieving this, but it felt like an aspiration that was worth articulating and he did it well. I came away realising that even those of us at the most polarised ends of this spectrum agree on 95% of issues.
As a co-founder of Registered Reports, I must also confess I feel like a smug twit in debates about the implementation of vanilla preregistration (and generally say nothing), because it feels to me that everyone is arguing feverishly over whether wheels should be squares or triangles.
