    "why isn’t every statistician a bayesian? the answer is simply that statisticians do not know what the bayesian paradigm says. why should they? there are very few universities in the world with statistics departments that provide a good course in the subject. only exceptional graduate students leave the field of their advisor and read for themselves. a secondary reason is that the subject is quite hard for someone who has been trained in the sampling-theory approach to understand. . . . the subject is difficult. some argue that this is a reason for not using it. but it is always harder to adhere to a strict moral code than to indulge in loose living. . . . every statistician would be a bayesian if he took the trouble to read the literature thoroughly and was honest enough to admit that he might have been wrong." (d.v. lindley, 1986, pp. 6–7)
