I know a bunch of scientists who learned a ton of canned tricks and take the (frequentist) statisticians' word on how likely associations are... and the statisticians never bothered to ask how a priori likely these associations were.
If this is a straw man, it is one that has regrettably been instantiated over and over again in real life.

Is this a fair representation of frequentists versus bayesians? I feel like every time the topic comes up, 'Bayesian statistics' is an applause light for me, and I'm not sure why I'm supposed to be applauding.
