I only have a tenuous grasp of Bayes' Theorem. I get the concept. But I haven't internalized it enough to make use of it in real world situations. I'm trying to decide whether it really makes sense for me to put in the effort to understanding it when I could be putting that effort into other things. I'm curious what examples people here have of making use of it in a concrete way in real life? (In particular, real life examples that weren't contingent on you being a scientist)
My two most common:
I find I use the intuitions behind Bayes' Theorem much more often than the math. And I'm not sure I act differently by thinking with that framework so much as come to the right question faster (which yes, is acting differently).
