The criticisms here that haven’t been just noise have mostly boiled down to the question of choosing one hypothesis from an infinite sample space. I’m not sure exactly where in the sequences EY covered this, but I know he did, and did in one of those four, because I reread them recently. Sorry I can’t be more help.
What I’m meaning to point out is the absence of something with a title along the lines of “Bayesian epistemology” that explains Bayesian epistemology specifically.
What LW has is “here’s the theorem” and “everything works by this theorem”, without the second one being explained in coherent detail. I mean, Bayes structure is everywhere. But just noting that is not an explanation.
There’s potential here for an enormously popular front-page post that gets linked all over the net forever, because the SEP article is so awful …
