Re: Given that there are no comprehensive models of the world...
I think that's the key point. Everyone brings a prior (guess). The frequentists insist that the only legitimate prior is one that expresses total ignorance. The Bayesians are willing to start from somewhere else. Once enough evidence actually turns up to make the prior unimportant, both parties agree. Until then, you don't actually have enough evidence.
