• Chater & Oaksford's 1999 retrospective itself performs the 'swap the normative yardstick' move, recasting the Wason selection task as optimal data selection rather than logical falsification

• Lieder & Griffiths (2020) cite Oaksford & Chater's 2007 Bayesian Rationality in a five-work psychology background list — a third, thinner citation alongside the 1994 and 1999 papers

• Lieder & Griffiths (2020) list probability theory alongside expected utility and logic as a classical normative standard human behaviour violates and resource-rational analysis supersedes

• The cosine-0.85 pairing between Oaksford & Chater's uncertainty-redefinition of rationality and resource-rational analysis's utility-minus-cost formalism is a real but genealogical bridge, not a direct engagement

• Resource-rational analysis's own history-of-rationality section cites Oaksford & Chater's Bayesian Rationality (2007) and places its probability-based norm as the predecessor standard resource-rationality supersedes — the resemblance is real, carried by lineage more than by the citation itself

• Resource-rational analysis (Lieder & Griffiths 2020) directly cites Oaksford & Chater's Wason-task work — the resemblance to their optimal-data-selection paper is a real citation, not a false friend

• Lieder & Griffiths (2020) cite Oaksford & Chater's 1994 optimal-data-selection paper by name as a worked example of how rational analysis explains apparent bias

• Resource-rational analysis's own target article cites Oaksford & Chater's Wason-task paper by name — the bipartite pair is a direct citation, not a shared-ancestor inference

• The cosine-0.85 pairing between the vault's optimization-as-theory-of-mind and Gigerenzer's-not-optimization notes is a confirmed bridge, mediated by rational analysis rather than a direct Werbos–Gigerenzer exchange

• The Werbos/Oaksford-Chater 'optimization as theory of mind' bet and Gigerenzer's 'not optimization' flag are already linked in the vault — via rational analysis as the hinge, not a direct exchange

• Does Anderson (1990) himself define rational analysis as optimal adaptation to the environment, and is it his or a later reading that equates it with Marr's computational level?

• Evans's 2009 BBS commentary flags Oaksford & Chater's enlistment of ecological rationality as unresolved — 'the link between the two programmes is unclear'

• Gigerenzer's camp defines ecological rationality as 'not optimization,' positioning it against the Bayesian-optimization family rational analysis belongs to

• Ecological rationality and rational analysis are contested, not compatible, in the primary literature — three legs, not a settled division of labor

• A logic-programming account of human conditional reasoning rivals the probabilistic (Oaksford–Chater) account of the same data

• Werbos's optimal-control ADP and Oaksford–Chater's rational analysis make the same 'optimization as a theory of mind' bet from two independent disciplines

• Rational analysis (Anderson 1990) explains cognition as the optimal solution to the computational problems the environment poses — Marr's computational level turned into a research program
