Archived discussion (Philosophy of probability)

The words "Physical probabilities, which are also called objective or frequency probabilities" indicate that "physical", "objective", and "frequency" (as an adjective, meaning "frequentist") have the same meaning in this context.

The words "The two main kinds of theory of physical probability are frequentist accounts ... and propensity accounts" indicate that "physical" does NOT have the same meaning as "frequentist" in the same context (they state that "frequentist" is more specific than "physical".

The passage is therefore internally inconsistent and hence incoherent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dagme (talk • contribs) 01:32, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
