E. T. Jaynes said many times (and I repeated even more often) that probability is ignorance, and that ignorance is a mental rather than physical property. "A blank map does not correspond to a blank territory", as I summarized it. This is an academic critic of Bayesianism?https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1342857958594465798 …

This just seems like a really damning statement to me, like finding a section where a touted academic critic of those naive astronomers writes about their stupid idea that the Sun circles the Earth. Chapman is critiquing "religious Bayesian dogma" without having ever retained...

...the absolutely basic concept of "subjective Bayesianism". My model of most postrats who've been touting Chapman is that even they should have better reading comprehension than this, but perhaps I have overestimated their intelligence (modulo attention and caring) yet again.
