    I don't blame you, his comics are rarely funny, its like a smart-ass trying to deliver a joke with a bad punchline
    No, that isn't what the comic is talking about at all.

    He's comparing the different types of statisticians in a silly way, showing how a frequentist would approach his interpretation of probability in a calculative way, and the bayesian would reason that if the sun had exploded, his $50 wouldn't be that useful anyway.

    I don't know much about statisticians or the stereotypes associated with them, but there you go.

    I use as many dots as I want. It indicates a pause, so the longer the pause, the more dots.
