Comment on Noisy Reasoners

While the model is interesting, it is almost irremediably ruined by this line: "since by definition P(A) = Ta/n", which substantially conflates probability with frequency.

Think of P(A) merely as the output of a noiseless version of the same algorithm. Obviously this depends on the prior, but I think this one is not unreasonable in most cases.
