“…Non-Bayesians still occasionally dredge up Feller's quotation as a pithy reminder of the perils of philosophy unchained by empiricism (see, for example, Ryder, 1976, andDiNardo, 2008). In a recent probability text, Stirzaker (1999) reviews some familiar probability paradoxes (e.g., the Monty Hall problem) and draws the following lesson:…”

The missionary zeal of many Bayesians of old has been matched, in the other direction, by an attitude among some theoreticians that Bayesian methods were absurd-not merely misguided but obviously wrong in principle. We consider several examples, beginning with Feller's classic text on probability theory and continuing with more recent cases such as the perceived Bayesian nature of the so-called doomsday argument. We analyze in this note the intellectual background behind various misconceptions about Bayesian statistics, without aiming at a complete historical coverage of the reasons for this dismissal.
