If that sort of thing really interests you, you might find some of
Robin Hanson's work right up your alley. From
http://hanson.gmu.edu/vita.html , I remember "Are Disagreements
Honest?" and "For Bayesian Wannabes, Are Disagreements Not About
Information?" as being applicable here. (I could have sworn I read one
paper along the lines of "Disagreements between two rational actors
are not honest" but I can't seem to find it now).
