Default Re: The purity of probability?

It should say something about probability theory that generally everything is developed from the Kolmogorov Axioms (which say nothing about how you actually determine the value of P(A)). Even then, there are debates over whether the Axiom of Countable Additivity should be replaced by the Axiom of Finite Additivity. From where I am standing, even if the math is nice and clean, the application gets messy.
