Before revision:  However, the amount of the drop is also information-driven: it is proportional to the absolute difference between the relative entropy and its celebrated generalization -- the R\'enyi divergence 4 . Given the widespread use of the R\'enyi divergence in science and engineering, and because financial returns are much easier to imagine, we expect our intuition to be useful in a broad range of fields. Financial intuition might also be useful in its own right as an instrument for raising financial support and accelerating the adoption of sound scientific developments .
After revision:  However, the amount of the drop is also information-driven: it is proportional to the absolute difference between the relative entropy and its celebrated generalization -- the R\'enyi divergence 4 . Given the widespread use of the R\'enyi divergence in science and engineering, such quantities lack numerical intuition and their axiomatic definitions contain no practical insight as to how the disagreement can be resolved. An economic approach addresses both of these problems by transforming disagreements into tangible investment opportunities. The R\'enyi divergence appears connected to the optimized performance of such investments. Optimization around individual opinions provides a social mechanism by which funds flow naturally to support a more accurate view. Such social mechanisms can help to resolve difficult disagreements (e.g., financial arguments concerning the global climate) .
