(nods) True enough.

That said, you're absolutely right that it looks completely different from "the other side."

The UK high school system does not cover Bayes Theorem.

If you choose maths as one of your A-levels, there's a good chance you will cover stats 1 which includes the formula for Bayes' Theorem and how to apply it to calculate medical test false positives/false negatives (and equivalent problems). However it isn't named and the significance to science/rationality is not explained, so it's just seen as "one more formula to learn".
