Social science is all about the narratives. It's about telling stories. The unvarnished truth isn't just or even mostly about QRPs, it's about disagreeing on what's worth pursuing. I agree with you it will be bumpy. I disagree it's mostly about robustness. Thinking about this:

Toute la vie des sociétés dans lesquelles règnent les

immense accumulation de spectacles. Tout ce qui était
directement vécu s’est éloigné dans une représentation.
