I don't understand how you can hold a position like that and still enjoy the post. How do you parse the phrase "my prior for the probability of heads" in the second example?
In the second example the person was speaking informally, but there is nothing wrong with specifying a probability distribution for an unknown parameter (and that parameter could be a probability for heads)
