You’re speaking of Bayesian agents as a general term to refer to anyone who happens to use Bayesian statistics for a specific purpose—and in that context, I agree with you. In that context, your statements are correct, by definition.
I am speaking of Bayesian agents using the idealized, Hollywood concept of agent. Maybe I should have been more specific and referred to super-agents, equivalent to super-spies.
I claim that someone who has lived and breathed the Bayes way will be significantly different than someone who has applied it, even very consistently, within a limited domain. For example, I can imagine a Bayesian super-agent working for big tobacco, but I see the probability of that event actually coming to pass as too small to be worth considering.

I don’t really know what you mean. A “super agent”? Do you really think Bayesian agents are “good”?
Since you haven’t really said what you mean, what do you mean? What are these “super agents” of which you speak? Would you know one if you met one?
Super-agent. You know, like James Bond, Mr. and Ms. Smith. Closer to the use, in context—Jeffreyssai.
Right… So: how about Lex Luthor or General Zod?
