Success story: I posted this link on my facebook and was able to reference 1 friend to EY's "Intuitive Intro to Bayes." He's taking a grad course this semester on Bayesian stats application to forensic psychology and I thought Intuitive Intro would probably prepare him well for the course.
Thanks for sharing.
Good article, although they should note stuff like the "yeah right" thing having to take into account previous studies. So that for each new independent study which showed the same wild effects (assuming no additional data coming in that restored "normality"), the "yeah right" would be a little bit quieter, mathematically.

It's disguised as an article about ESP to fool their editors; scroll down two paragraphs and it goes on for quite a while about what Bayesian statistics are and why Bayesian analysis is important.
