I don't know if it belongs here or in a separate post but afaik there is no explanation of the Dutch book argument on Less Wrong. It seems like there should be. Just telling people that structuring your beliefs according to Bayes Theorem will make them accurate might not do the trick for some. The Dutch book argument makes it clear why you can't just use any old probability distribution.
Post away! (Then have someone add a link and summary of your post in the wiki.)
I'm on it.
