The appropriateness of each approach is very much a function of what is being modeled and the corresponding consequences for error.

Of course. The best approach for a particular problem depends on your best judgment.

I guess that means I'm in the pragmatist school in this article's nomenclature (I'm a big fan of Gelman and all the other stats folks there), but what one thinks is pragmatic is also subjective.
