The probabilities don't bottom out. But you can still address the
question of which description of events is the *most probable*. This
recasts theory as *retrodiction*, instead of *prediction*. Then the
hypothesis that fitness for retrodiction implies fitness for prediction
amounts to a statement of faith in the order of the world.
