I am not 100% sure that this is a bug, but the Monks and Mystics Hermetics Society quest line "Observe stars/planets" treats the astronomical_insights modifiers a bit strangely.

The event MNM.1836 contains the following random list:

random_list = {
   30 = { # Tracking planets
      character_event = { id = MNM.1846 }
   }
   30 = { # Predicting Comet
      character_event = { id = MNM.1847 }
   }
   30 = { # Name a newly found star
      character_event = { id = MNM.1848 }
   }
   30 = { # Observe zodiac stars
      character_event = { id = MNM.1850 }
   }
   120 = { # Fail to observe anything of interest
      modifier = {
         factor = 0.5
         has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_2
      }
      modifier = {
         factor = 0.5
         has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_3
      }
      modifier = {
         factor = 0.5
         has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_4
      }

      character_event = { id = MNM.1851 }
   }
}

That seems strange for 2 reasons, firstly it means it doesn't matter if the astronomical_insights modifier is level 2, 3 or 4 for the resulting weight and secondly if that was the intention, something like

   120 = { # Fail to observe anything of interest
      modifier = {
         factor = 0.5
         OR= {
                      has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_2
                      has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_3
                      has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_4
         }
      }

      character_event = { id = MNM.1851 }
   }

would have been functionally equivalent and much clearer.

If the intention was to apply the 0.5 modifiers cumulatively, the following should work better:

   120 = { # Fail to observe anything of interest
      modifier = {
         factor = 0.5
         has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_2
      }
      modifier = {
         factor = 0.25
         has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_3
      }
      modifier = {
         factor = 0.125
         has_character_modifier = astronomical_insights_4
      }

      character_event = { id = MNM.1851 }
   }

The events MNM.1853, MNM.1854 contain a similar block.
