I gave the Chapter to my friend who'd studied Gödel's Theorems for a term for his Masters, and he said the bit on Gödel was highly dubious, though he didn't go into detail. But they don't seem essential at all; I suspect Jaynes was engaging in a misconceived defence of Bayesianism's compatibility with Gödel's results against a misconceived attack.
