>Bayesian priors.

Is your point anything more than saying "political stereotyping" using verbiage that suggests you agree with the assessment? Even my attempt to find lay-person verbiage for your idea ("stereotyping") found words that carry a negative connotation.

I cannot parse your verbiage.

I'm implying your showy language classed up an idea that that people would be more likley to dismiss on it's face if described plainly.

Well, my choice of words was tongue in cheek, haha only serious, but also knowing my crowd. Bayesian inference is a popular almost-meme on HN which I thought made my terse flippancy more amusing.
