It is perhaps worth drawing attention to this sentence in the article: "Though Bayes' theorem is where Bayesians get their name, it is not this law itself that is controversial, but the Bayesian interpretation of probability implied by the term P(F_true | D)." A widespread misunderstanding is that there is something fundamentally Bayesian about Bayes' theorem, or even that frequentists don't believe in it. It is rarely pointed out that this is not the case, and we should thank the authors for doing so.
