Seems like the Bayesian owner needs to re-examine his priors.

:thinking-face: Wouldn't any truly bayesian analysis hinge on the priors?
Prior probability estimates are not part of science?
Why are you making an argument with “Bayesian priors”? This doesn’t make it more convincing…
Consider prior probabilities and Bayes' rule.
Under what circumstances do you update your priors?
It's comical that you called it 'bayesian prior' and now say you'll never update probabilities.
Why not? Whatever your bayesian priors are, they certainly don't match mine.
When you say "unlikely," do you mean according to your Bayesian priors or according to an analysis you'd like to share with us?
