I am not sure what you mean by "the form of the theorem looks much more arbitrary ". The derivation of Bayes law comes from the axioms of conditional probability. Given two events A, B; we have: P(A^B) = P(A|B) * P(B) Probability

I would care to interject. First of all, you are right on several points. * Most of mathematics is the same in both schools of though, and the interpretations is not different. * Some basic ideas (i.e. the nature of probability) are quite d
