Conversely, maybe others see value in a technique that doesn't start from square one every single time.

I mean, knowledge is a thing, yes?

That's not the point. The point is there is no choice between having priors and not. There is only the choice between acknowledging priors versus doublethink, confusion, and deception.

With how fashionable it is to talk about implicit bias, I wonder how those concerns intersect with the people attacking Bayesian approaches here.
