I *really* want to cite this paper in my thesis, but I can't see where I would put it. I'll just share it here instead. Huge fan of dogmatic papers from the world of statistics. I don't necessarily agree with the paper, but I wish people were able to publish more stuff of this flavour

What this does highlight is that MCMC _is not_ Bayesian, which some people seem to think it is. I'm a proponent of subjectivism and Bayesian probability, thus it pains me to say that frequentist statistics is useful
