Bayesianism is the only reliable way of creating knowledge, as it is the direct application of the mathematics of probability. All frequentism can do is tell you how poorly your data fits an unrealistic straw-man model.
- ThomPete 3y agoProbability is not knowledge creation.
- jmpeax 3y agoThen you must reject all science, as the knowledge gained is based on probabilistic experiments.
- ThomPete 3y agoNo science is based on explanations that are hard to vary (i.e. explain what they purport to without any competing explanations). We use scientific experimentations not to prove but to rule out alternative theories. I can explain why a given thing will act a certain way. I don't need probabilities for that. If I need probability it's because I am just guessing and nothing else. If I need them I am just dressing up guessing in fancy words. But I am just that.
