wassname 8509ec3c30 folklore: promote Spinning Up to main; add a Research-taste section ...

- Promote the general (non-RL-specific) Spinning Up lessons up to the main
  folklore: "broken code fails silently", "you can't tell it's broken if you
  can't see that it's breaking", and test on more than one setup.
- Add gwern's "Unseeing" to the data theme: you can't read what you actually
  wrote, hence fresh eyes / a fresh-eyes subagent.
- New "Research taste (adjacent to debugging)" section with verbatim quotes,
  each cached: Neel Nanda (your research is false by default; excitement is
  evidence of bullshit; read your data), Ulisse Mini (understand the system to
  shrink the search space), John Wentworth (gears-level models are capital
  investments vs cheap black boxes).

All quotes verbatim from cached sources; 25/25 footnotes resolve.
