@St_Rev @themattsimpson Relatedly, is there a “standard line” on Shalizi among statisticians generally? Among Bayesians?
@st_rev @themattsimpson I’m finding http://vserver1.cscs.lsa.umich.edu/~crshalizi/weblog/cat_bayes.html … says many things I planned to say someday. Have you read his stuff? Any opinions?

@St_Rev @themattsimpson I’m not sure whether I can just wave people at him and say “so much for Bayesianism” or if there’s more work to do.

@Meaningness @themattsimpson That said, he tends to a level of technical detail that's over my head/kinda boring. -
@St_Rev @themattsimpson Right. Some of his Bayes stuff is very funny and accessible. Some not. Wondering if I should popularize the rest. - 1 more reply
