Why do you think F is more vague than B? I don't think that's true. LW folks (up to and including EY) are generally a lot more vague and imprecise when talking about statistics than professional statisticians using F for whatever reason. But still seem to have strong opinions about B over F. It's kinda culty, to be honest.
Here's a book by a smart F:
http://www.amazon.com/All-Statistics-Statistical-Inference-Springer/dp/0387402721
The section on B stat is fairly funny.
No doubt about it, Larry Wasserman* is a smart guy. Unfortunately, that section isn't his finest work. The normal prior example compares apples and oranges as discussed here, and the normalizing constant paradox analysis is just wrong, as LW himself discusses here.
* I'm just a teeny bit jealous that his initials are "LW". How awesome would that be?
