      False flag attacks have been common for centuries. Given any act of apparent political terrorism, journalists should always be asking: Why these targets? Why this timing? Who really benefits? Could this be yet another false flag? Not asking = incentivizing more false flags.

      Really awesome to see an avowed Bayesian jump straight to false flags, because that’s surely the most likely explanation for a terrorist attack. https://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/906283267103498240?s=21 …

      I'm making the Bayesian point that false flags have been common and should be considered as one possibility. That's all. Not presuming either way.

          That's not Bayesian. A Bayesian point would start by looking at the relative rates of ordinary attacks versus "false flag" attacks.

          Well, you said “Not asking = incentivizing *more* glaze flags” This means you’re presuming this was a false flag. You may not have meant that but it is what you wrote.

          Can you give an example of a false flag political operation in the last 50 years?
