Somewhat tangentially, I'd like to point out that simply bringing up relative frequencies of different types of events in discussion doesn't make one a crypto-frequentist -- the Bayesian approach doesn't bar relative frequencies from consideration. In contrast, frequentism does deprecate the use of mathematical probability as a model or representation of degrees of belief/plausibility.
