Eliezer, I have given your old "An Intuitive Explanation of Bayes' Theorem" a read-through some time ago, but because I'm mathematically illiterate and hardly needed to calculate anything since I left school, it was a little hard for me to understand without putting considerable effort into it. The the concept behind it stuck easily, because intuitively I have been thinking "in terms of probabilities" for a long time already, but the math didn't stick and so I still can't use it.

I have been putting off reading it again for a while now, so I'd love to give the new beta version a try.
