Comment on Why Bayes? A Wise Ruling

Fair enough.

Which raises the question: do you actually know anyone who considers small children worthless, or are you just bracketing here?

I mean, I know lots of people who consider small children (and various precursors to small children) to have less value than other things they value... indeed, I don't know anyone who doesn't, although there are certainly disagreements about what clears that bar and what doesn't. But that needn't involve walking off any cliffs... that's just what it means to live in a world where we sometimes have to choose among things of value.
