Probabilities come from information. So priors come from your starting information. Which information you label “starting” is completely arbitrary, however—you can’t get different answers just by relabeling what you know.
So any problem that you can look at from an SIA perspective, you can also take a step back and look at it from an SSA perspective—it just means labeling less information “starting” information.
