I’ve always thought that chapter was a weak point in the book. Jaynes doesn’t treat probabilities of probabilities in quite the right way (for one thing they’re really probabilities of frequencies). So take it with a grain of salt.
I agree, it did seem like one of the more-unfinished parts. Still, perhaps a better starting point than nothing at all?
