I thought this was a good piece on the difference between Bayesian and frequentist statistics. Thinking about it as looking at row sums vs looking at column sums was a comparison I'd not heard before, and I think it really helped my comprehension.

The /r/math thread is here.

That... was atrocious. It only makes sense if you've already learned at least the basics of both Bayesian and frequentist statistics.

Well, I suppose on StackExchange that might be expected, but as educational literature...

Ohh, come on. The only prerequisite you really need is the definition of confidence intervals, and you could learn that in any basic Statistics course.
