The Great Bayesian Conversion
The statistical cult initiation is complete! Watch as innocent young students get indoctrinated into the Bayesian way of thinking, where prior beliefs aren't just biases—they're features . The Math Department smiles knowingly while frequentist researchers look on in horror as another pure mind falls to the dark side of probability theory. Next thing you know, this kid will be updating their beliefs with every new piece of evidence instead of blindly worshipping p-values. The horror! For the uninitiated: Bayes' Theorem revolutionizes how we think about probability by incorporating prior knowledge into calculations—essentially saying "what we already know matters." Frequentists, meanwhile, clutch their pearls and insist on objective purity. It's the statistical equivalent of nature vs. nurture, and this poor student just picked a side.
