I highly agree, just play with Stan or JAGs and you will figure it out. The prose descriptions just cannot convey the power and flexibility of Bayesian stats. PS, you shouldn't be trying to do a "bayesian t-test" or anything like that. That whole way of thinking about research (asking "is there an effect?") is flawed and can't go away soon enough.
