- swatow 12y agoMany people, perhaps not you, are interested in distinguishing between discrimination based on Bayesian inference, and discrimination that isn't, and is instead, for example, based on incorrect views or inherent dislike of certain groups. You might say that both are equally bad. I suspect that if you were given the opportunity to argue that a particular form of discrimination is not justified by Bayesian inference, you would do so. It's only because I'm suggesting that it's possible discrimination is justified by Bayesian inference, that you are (rudely) objecting to the distinction.
