Thanks very much to Deep, Marco and Thomas for the suggestion of
"prior-data conflict" as the search phrase I'm looking for, and to Deep
and Thomas for pointers to the papers. I really appreciate it, and am
starting follow up now.

Dear Robert,
Maybe searching for "prior-data conflict" could be helpful.
Interesting first references for this topic include

Thanks, but the flat improper prior isn't really appropriate for this
case. In this case I have a bunch of observations in a first research
study that are very much normally distributed with obvious peaks.
I'm looking now at an attempt to replicate this first study, where the
replication didn

I'm looking for some advice and particularly literature pointers for a
question about the Bayesian stance. I'm interested in what approaches
are suggested for handling the case where one's prior is qualitatively
wrong.
For example, imagine that I have chosen a normal distribution for a
random
