Stumbled upon this subject as I was studying computer vision at a Japanese lab (under a professor who had studied Bayes' Theorem for his entire career –– yes, he had it framed behind his desk)
I do share his fascination of Bayes' and believe that it is one of the most powerful theorems out there. It keeps popping up in applications everywhere (ML, crypto, intelligence, pharma dev etc etc) since published about 200 years ago. Taught to thousands of undergrads every year in every country, I sometimes get the impression its simplicity does not successfully convey the true real-world capacity.
To think it was not so long ago assumed inferior to sampling and frequency statistics.. :)
