Steal the meme, and spread it as far and as wide as you possibly can! The sooner it beats out "Popper is so 70 years ago", the better. (Kind of ironic that Bayes long predated Popper, though the formalization of [what we now call] Bayesian inference did not.)

Example of my academically-respected arch-nemesis arguing the exact anti-falsificationist view I was criticizing.
