    Eliezer!

    WOW! I said before that this was cool, but I hadn't
    read very far into it. It must be promoted to a full
    way-wicked-too-cool status.

    This was so very insightful, I made some copies and
    distributed them to those in the office that think
    about these things. I realized that some techniques
    I had previously thought of as classical probability
    theory was actually related to Bayesian: set up a
    matrix representing the possibility space, then ensure
    that all the squares add up to 1.

    Still, without the actual equation I made the rose-
    flowers error and got 8.4% instead of 7.8%.

    Upon seeing the actual Bayes equation, it takes on a
    certain beauty and profoundness. Truth!
