I recently read @djnavarro 's 2021 paper "If Mathematical Psychology Did Not Exist We Might Need to Invent It: A Comment on Theory Building in Psychology" (https://doi.org/10.1177/1745691620974769).
It's a gem on the role and use of theory in cognitive psychology (and related fields, by extension) and the relation of theory to statistics. As expected, the footnotes are a joy. For my extra reading pleasure, I imagined the paper written in Danielle's sweary-blog style.
