Well, interesting topic! But I don't agree that the frequentist view is the worst. Seems to me as the most objective, the most "scientific" one. The one that can best explain the concept of probability. The subjective view doesn't explain much to me, and the propensity just doesn't seem right, because I don't believe in probabilities being inherent to anything, they're can be volatile under a single object.

Or maybe I just might read more about this whole subject, since my opinions come solely from this article.

If someone disagrees, I'd like to know why. Good to know different points of view =)
