This is about to scroll off, but, frankly, I do not know what you mean by “normative” in this
context. The usual usage of this term implies statements about values or norms. I do not
see that anything about this has anything to do with values or norms. Perhaps I do not
understand the “wholel point of Bayes’ Theorem.” Then again, I do not see anything in your
reply that actually counters the argument I made.
Bottom line: I think your “law” is only true by assumption.
