  There’s various technicalities of how and where Beysian statistics apply to the world but I really interpreted it as meaning “if the world is ending then it doesn’t matter and if not then I’m up $50”. The Beysian is just ruthlessly practical.

    Not only that, but there’s a higher chance of the detector lying than the Sun supernova-ing, so it’s probably a false positive. Yes I did just read 3–4 Wikipedia articles.
