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.
