This is not true at all.
A large chunk of academics would say that it is. For example, from the paper I was referencing in my post:
That doesn't at all say Bayesian reasoning assumes only two possibilities. It says Bayesian reasoning assumes you know what all the possibilities are.
True, but how often do you see an explanation of Bayesian reasoning in philosophy that uses more than two possibilities?
