And, presumably, you have taken an introductory statistics class? Hm. Probably in high school, and then in college (assuming you've been) you skipped the introductory class and took one with only T-tests etc. and no counting problems? Seems like the most likely way to miss learning Bayes' theorem and still make that statement.

I have had no choice over my classes and the statistics classes at university I had as a part of my program taught us from the very basics (and I've had 4 times more statistics classes than any other class as a part of my program except for research methods). I studied Psychology in the UK.
