目标文章为心理学和贝叶斯建模提供了重要的理论贡献。尽管这篇文章的观点很好，但我们认为它屈服于一些关于进化心理学（EP）的误解。其中包括对进化心理学的最优性方法的错误描述;未能理解EP中机制的中心地位;以及对假设检验的错误描述。EP的准确表征为成功集成贝叶斯建模提供了更多的希望。
Abstract The target article provides important theoretical contributions to psychology and Bayesian modeling. Despite the article's excellent points, we suggest that it succumbs to a few misconceptions about evolutionary psychology (EP). These include a mischaracterization of evolutionary psychology's approach to optimality; failure to appreciate the centrality of mechanism in EP; and an incorrect depiction of hypothesis testing. An accurate characterization of EP offers more promise for successful integration with Bayesian modeling.
