Probabilities come from information. So priors come from your starting information. Which information you label "starting" is completely arbitrary, however - you can't get different answers just by relabeling what you know.

So any problem that you can look at from an SIA perspective, you can also take a step back and look at it from an SSA perspective - it just means labeling less information "starting" information.
