The solution, of course, is for the Bayesian view to become widespread enough that it doesn’t end up identified particularly with Jaynes. The parts of Jaynes that are correct—the important parts—should be said by many other people in many other places, so that Jaynes can eventually be regarded as a brilliant eccentric who just by historical accident happened to be among the first to say these things.
There’s no reason that David Hilbert shouldn’t have been a Bayesian. None.
Amen. Amen-issimo.
