I don't understand the connection to the earlier claims about minimizing worst-case performance. To strictly dominate, doesn't this imply that the Bayesian algorithm does as well or better on the worst-case input? In which case, how does frequentism ever differ? Surely the complete class theorem doesn't show that all frequentist approaches are just a Bayesian approah in disguise?
