“Over-update”? Do you mean “overreact”?

I'm guessing over-update their opinion/view, but that's the first I've run into that turn of phrase.
No, I mean over-update in a Bayesian capacity. As in, they are updating their prior probability using evidence to arrive at the posterior probability.

Huh?
See em dash in text

Think text much more likely from robot than first thought

Grug say this change too big from just one em dash
