There was never any squabbles about semantics. It was a matter of
Illywacker's ERROR and his FALSE acccusation. Period.
It is AN ERROR, no matter how you dance around it.
You did not know, and apparently have failed to learn, that MAP and
posterior mode estimation are synonyms.

They are not synomyms even if they were used that way by computational
physicists.

You keep on claiming this, but you refuse to give any evidence. Please
back up your statement with evidence

The evidence, as I had expressed several times, (and of course Anon Bob
O'Hara always sticks his nose in someone else's discussion and NOT
having
read what had been said) is that NO Bayesian uses that term -- that
means
the world renowned Bayesians in both continents, and not those quasi-
statisticians who publish in Transaction of the IEEE and claim that
they
know something about Bayesian statistics.

Bob O'Hara, you have contributed absolute NOTHING in this groups
except making NOISE, behind Illywhacker or some other quacks. You
are NOT a statistician. You are a research associate in Biology in the
department you have in your sig. If not for those facts, the
Department
of Math and Stat, the University of Helsinki, and the country of
Finland
would ALL be badly reflected by having you there.

If you want to discuss statistics, you need to first be EDUCATED in
the subject first, and not just hang around newsgroups making NOISE.
