Well again, the part about probability suggests a fundamental misunderstanding of the Bayesian interpretation. The math never has to use the word "true". If you think it does when expressed in English grammar, that seems like a flaw in English grammar.

Or at least, an incompatibility of English grammar with the purpose in question. I have trouble calling it a flaw when something doesn't do something well which it isn't designed for (never mind that it can't really be called designed at all).
