As I said, I’m less interested in “scientific” evidence than Bayesian evidence. The latter can be disappointingly orthogonal to the former, in that what’s generally good scientific evidence isn’t always good Bayesian evidence, and good Bayesian evidence isn’t always considered scientific.
What are some examples of good scientific evidence that isn’t good bayesian evidence?

Uh, how about all of parapsychology, aka “the control group for the scientific method”. ;-) Psi experiments can reach p .05 under conventional methods without being good Bayesian evidence, as we’ve seen recently with that “future priming” psi experiment.
(Note that I said “scientific” not Scientific. ;-) )
Ok, I wouldn’t have necessarily classed that as ‘good scientific evidence’ but it seems to be useful Bayesian evidence so we must be looking at it from different angles.
