Abstract
The psychological literature today is awash in ungrounded concepts and methods. Although our more sophisticated colleagues are careful to operationalize their concepts (e.g., fear), others use the same concepts with reckless abandon, constructing conceptual edifices on the weakest of foundations. For such “theorists, ” it sometimes seems that evidence has become an inconvenience. One can almost hear them exclaiming: “Evidence be damned. We have minds to explore!” Given this current intellectual climate, it is not surprising that anthropomorphism is popular once again. Along with its fellow travelers—mentalism, introspection, and anecdotalism—anthropomorphism has infected the animal behavior literature in the same way that nativism has infected developmental psychology (Blumberg, 2005). I admire Clive Wynne for his stubborn passion in this struggle. But as I read his astute and perceptive essay—and it should be said that I read it as someone who did not need to be convinced—I found myself aching to change the ground rules of the debate. In particular, I believe it is time to begin demanding that some meat be placed on the anthropomorphism bones. To that end, I would like to see the proponents of anthropomorphism answer some basic questions. Can anthropomorphism form the foundation of an empirical science? It has been argued that anthropomorphism aids the behavioral scientist to discover new facts and generate new hypotheses about animal behavior (Burghardt, 1991). This claim should be testable. Accordingly, I would like to see some effort devoted to documenting whether individuals who explicitly engage in anthropomorphism have a track I thank Ed Wasserman for his helpful comments on an earlier draft of this essay.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
