The bit about Rev. Bayes was something of a cheap shot, I admit. My impression has actually been that Bayes himself was a mostly unremarkable scholar (compared to someone like Laplace, that is!) and quite possibly would not even agree with modern Bayesian statistics.

Did komponisto say that? I read "expect" as descriptive, not normative.

I read it as a bit of both. If I was incorrect to do so, mea culpa and apologies to komponisto.
