Statement
DDB's question-relative principles (reflecting, totally trusting and valuing an expert with respect to a partition) have logical-induction counterparts in which the question is a family of sentences, and question-relative Total Trust is equivalent to question-relative Value there.

Dorst, Levinstein, Salow, Husic and Fitelson, "Deference Done Better", Philosophical Perspectives 35 (2021), §5: "every theory we've explored here is a theory of complete deference … We defer to Nate Silver about who'll win the election, but not about what the weather will be".

Notes
The finite-frame side is settled against DDB's local conjecture; the logical-induction side is not started. It bears on the binary shutdown question of the corrigibility programme (a two-cell question).
