Well, yes, but his name means nothing to me - but -aah yes!
"Rennes-le-Chateau". Well, lets see what they have to say.

While I don't pretend to be a statistician, I have encountered
Bayesian statistics from time to time, usually in circumstances where
their application is of doubtful merit and their use is by people who
want to overwhelm the innocent with their erudition. :-)

My first reading of that article is that it is designed to impress
rather than to analyse. Nevertheless I will have a careful look at it.
However, I will need some data if I'm really going to make much
progress - that is, I will have to wait for the book to arrive.
