If you're talking maths, anything that isn't taught in high school commonly is a bit obscure for most people. The same is true for most subjects!

Not sure that’s an opinion it strikes me as fact but it seems more folks are learning a bit about it ...

@GidMK Bayes’ theorem is at the core of clinical judgment...most physicians are completely unaware of its existence. In particular the relationship between pretest probability and PPV seems to stump tons of professionals who make decisions based on screening resultsThanks.

First time I heard it was in an undergraduate statistics course that was mostly populated by future health care providers. I had no idea it was “obscure”.

Teaching my youngest fractions now and I have no idea how I ever learned this stuff. It's incredibly weird... try explaining adding numerators only but multiply num and den.... And then Bayes' I didn't see until grad school because engineering tried killing me with calculus.

Obscure =/= unknown I think it is unknown and unappreciated, but it is not obscure. But it is true that Bayes’ theorem often conflicts with our “instinctive” way of estimating chances. Is the stuff behavioural economics is made of.

"Obscure" literarily means "not known to many people".https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/obscure …
