Do people really argue against frequentist statistics? I was under the impression that in bayesian statistics you basically are just weighting your distribution by a prior, usually because there is not enough data yet to use robust frequentist methods. Put another way, I was under the impression that bayesian statistics are a way of solving the cold start problem[1]. Effectively you are using frequentist statistics in bayesian inference anyways. Please correct me if I am wrong.
