Nate Silver

“What isn’t acceptable under Bayes’s theorem is to pretend that you don’t have any prior beliefs. You should work to reduce your biases, but to say you have none is a sign that you have many. To state your beliefs up front—to say “Here’s where I’m coming from”12—is a way to operate in good faith and to recognize that you perceive reality through a subjective filter.”
