Abstract

A battered old philosophy of science vehicle heads west towards the Bayesian gold fields. Odd bits of junk are tied to the roof. In the rear window is a sign that reads “Bayes or Bust!” So far the story is not new. But at the wheel is a famous race car driver who has accelerated out of Newtonian space-time and decelerated back again.. Who could resist going along for the ride? We couldn’t—and you shouldn’t either.
