Model selection and gobbledygook: Response to Lohmann et al.

Lohmann et al. (this issue) make three unremarkable observations about model selection and use them to critique dynamic causal modelling-a Bayesian model selection procedure based on causal models of dynamical systems (Marreiros et al., 2010). In this response, we unpack their misconceptions and try to answer their questions.
