Tribalism is so cute when it's not political.

I once saw David Cox interrupt an argument between the two camps at a conf to say something along the lines of Frequentist/Bayesian, whatever gets the job done for the problem at hand. I can't do it justice, but it was very dudely.

It sounds like Randall got bitten by some variant of Poe's law.

He should be doubly cautious of Rule 34 in this case.

How viewer must recognize who are Frequentists and Bayesian in porn? Of course it possible to place tattoos with formulas on bodies or put some blackboards in background (conventional plot about student and teacher?), but can it be more elegant? May be some joke about contraception?
