Well it's been floating around as an -ism (or I think Eliezer called
it something like "Bayesutsu", only partly tongue in cheek) for awhile
now, so while the conclusion that we're surely lost is a little on the
pessimistic side even for me :), I figured there was no harm in
discussing the reasons why, while the mathematical method is great
stuff as far as it goes, the -ism aspect takes things too far.
