Though the Bayesian vs. frequentist debate is largely muted in the statistics community, it continues among those applying advanced statistical methods in the physical sciences. The debate often misses some salient features on both sides, relying on simplistic arguments based on some single aspect of the methodology such as p-values or priors.
