timtyler comments on What is the advantage of the Kolmogorov complexity prior?

Priors do tend to get swamped by the data—in a lot of cases.

Choosing a sensible prior does help when you don’t have very much data in some domain, though.

Depending on the complexity of the prior it can take much more data then you’d expect.
