Maybe I focused too much on the bayesianism vs frequentism thing. That's not the point. You should use bayesian methods, just gather lots more data than locally necessary.

So yeah, sometimes that data is different types of evidence that a frequentist analysis couldn't even correlate, but again, the point is to overdo it, not to disregard those many arguments or whatever.
