 Both the prior probability of the hypothesis and the expectedness tend to be somewhat subjective factors in that various agents from the same scientific community may legitimately disagree on what values these factors should take. Bayesian logicians usually accept the apparent subjectivity of the prior probabilities of hypotheses, but find the subjectivity of the expectedness to be more troubling. This is due at least in part to the fact that in a Bayesian logic of evidential support the value of the expectedness cannot be determined independently of likelihoods and prior probabilities of hypotheses. That is, when, for each member of a collection of alternative hypotheses, the likelihood \(P[e \pmid h_j\cdot b\cdot c]\) has an objective (or intersubjectively agreed) value, the expectedness is constrained by the following equation (where the sum ranges over a mutually exclusive and exhaustive collection of alternative hypotheses \(\{h_1, h_2 , \ldots ,h_m , \ldots \}\), which may be finite or countably infinite):
