I'm pretty sure this article started as an anger towards jargon (literally an abbreviation for person's *prior beliefs* , Wiki "Klayman and Ha used Bayesian probability and information theory as their standard of hypothesis-testing, rather than the falsificationism used by Wason. According to these ideas, each answer to a question yields a different amount of information, which depends on the person's *prior beliefs.* ") which then bent its way into "I don't like these people, so they are Subjective Bayesians that don't even care about combatting this little thing called Confirmation Bias so I won't look at each X post and see it's all self-deprecating humor, and also overstep and say the elusive actual Subjective Bayesian in the Smbc comic does no math, rather than less math."
