I suppose it's better that to never have suffered through frequentist statistics first, but I think you appreciate the right way a lot more after you've had to suffer through the wrong way for a while.

Well, Jaynes does point out how bad frequentism is as often as he can get away with. I guess the main thing you're missing out if you weren't previously familiar with it is knowing whether he's attacking a strawman.

I agree, that's why I'm glad I learned Bayes first. Makes you appreciate the good stuff more.

Did you misread the comment you're replying to, are you sarcastic, or am I missing something?
