George, Brian: thank you for the elaborations. Perhaps the point is that if I have a mental model of when the mathematician will say what, and that model is reasonably accurate, I can use that information to make more accurate deductions?
Which seems fairly obvious... but perhaps that's also the point, that Bayesian statistics allows you to use what information you have.
