Discussing some math concerning the game we shall not speak of, someone pointed me to this (http://yudkowsky.net/bayes/bayes.html) website.

An interesting quote:

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe you see the theorem, and you understand the theorem, and you can use the theorem, but you can't understand why your friends and/or research colleagues seem to think it's the secret of the universe. Maybe your friends are all wearing Bayes' Theorem T-shirts, and you're feeling left out. Maybe you're a girl looking for a boyfriend, but the boy you're interested in refuses to date anyone who "isn't Bayesian". What matters is that Bayes is cool, and if you don't know Bayes, you aren't cool.

Cool? Or sad?

I was really afraid that link was going to go to a GaTech site.

The fact that you made a poll about this is even sadder than the quote.

So what does that make you for replying to it?

No seriously, is this thing cool over there in the US of A, or is this guy just being sarcastic/idiotic/a nerd?

If you post this in the probabilty forums you will get better responses.

Meanwhile, I read the the thing. Its a drawn out definition of Bayes theorm, which isn't that complex to begin with.

I can't believe someone took the time to type all that crap.

Oh, if you want to post this stuff, put it in the SMP forum. We prefer OOT to be as intellectually nonstimulating as possible.

Okay, thanks for the advice. Hope nobody blew any fuses by opening the link without a proper warning.
