Can you recommend an overview of everything wrong with probabilistic epistemology? I haven’t found one. There’s lots of papers that say “this particular objection is fatal, so why don’t you guys stop pretending,” but maybe no compendium of those?

Problem is, for each objection, probabilists say “that’s not fatal, we can deal with it (in special cases at least) by adding a whole lot of extra complexity to our story.”

You've obviously been talking to the wrong probabilists. Problems result from misapplications or misunderstandings of theorems, and their correct resolution will simplify rather than complicate. E. T. Jaynes was a master of this and his...

...masterpiece "The Logic of Science" is full of beautifully simple refutations and corrections of other people's attempted complicated amendments to probability theory. But only a master can operate at that level.

Well… as I’ve pointed out, it’s full of elementary errors in understanding mathematical logic. So… we’ll have to disagree about that.

(Misunderstanding which are not merely incidental, but fatal to his whole story. It’s simple because it’s simplistic, i.e. unambiguously wrong.)
