When all you have is a hammer...

  Bayes theorem is quite the versatile hammer...

  Bayesian inference is more of a swiss-army knife than a hammer. It is a very versatile concept. Yet, even if it were a hammer, getting the nail-like characteristics of an unknown object is very valuable. You just have to repeat the procedure for the other tools on your toolset and you'll either get to completely know it, or characterize a hole on your toolset that can now be filled. A big gain, either way.
