No it&#x27;s not &quot;just math&quot;. You need to know what questions you&#x27;re asking. You can&#x27;t wave this under &quot;do whatever works best&quot; because evaluating &quot;what works best&quot; requires epistemology, and this is precisely what we&#x27;re discussing.<p>There are some consistency properties of Bayesianism which make it a much better candidate for epistemology than frequentism. Specifically, there are important questions in frequentism for which there are no answers. In particular, the concept of &quot;power of a test&quot; sweeps the prior under the rug without a proper explanation.
