Yes, I think we agree. Except that i don't think that the fact that there is meaningful argument to be had about bayesian inference v.s. frequentist inference, means that the debate has not been centered around arguing about what probability is, which is a mistake...

Did I give the impression that I thought the argument about what probability is wasn't a mistake?

I wasn't sure.

Oh, well in rereading my comment I could see why it was ambiguous. Yeah, I think we agree.
