Thanks for the link. That is a good point. I agree that every useful method has to have some amount of information-theoretic overlap with Bayes, but that overlap could be small and still be useful; we reach most conclusions only after there is overwhelming evidence in favor of them, so one could do as well as humans while only having a small amount of mutual information with proper Bayesian updating (or indeed without ever even working with a Bayesian model).
