That was nicely written and fun to read. I might pick up that book.

A question: I found the odds ratio version of Bayes's theorem far more intuitive. Throughout history, has the equation ever been given as an odds ratio?

E.T. Jaynes used it a fair amount. I don't know how much others have used it.
