I am glad I am on my way to another weekend of reprieve from this
group. :-) It's ONLY in sci.stat.* can illywhacker, who is
COMPLETELY IGNORANT about Bayesian statistics and Bayesian
inference, AND all other kinds of STATISTICS, can generate a
subthread of impertinence as the half a dozen posts leading
to this, in a supposed sci.STAT newsgroup!

There ain't such an animal as a "pure statistician". In fact,
the DIRTIER (by getting into real APPLICATIONS) the better! :-)

Who cares?

illywhacker, whose debut in USENET was illwhacker, is nothing but
a whacko when it comes to STATISTICS.

Laplace led the renaissance of Bayesian thinking? That's WHACKO!

Answer these questions and then spend a few years READING what
has been written by STATISTICIANS about Bayesian statistics,
before coming back. Try spew your nonsense in some alt.physics
groups.
