  • Larry Wasserman: "I think this is an interesting and important book."
  • Larry Wasserman: "Burdzy makes a convincing case that the philosophy of probability is a complete failure."
  • Andrew Gelman: "Chris: I am in complete agreement with your claim that the theories of von Mises and de Finetti completely fail to describe what statisticians actually do."
• Christian Robert quotes my asertion that "the original theories of von Mises and de Finetti are completely unrelated to statistics" in his review of my book. He calls it "appealing" because he believes that "[...] their philosophical theories have not had a lasting impact on statistics."
• A.I. Dale writes in the Math Review (MR2510150) of the book: "[...] there is much to absorb, but the careful reader will find considerable food for thought here."

I find the following "new prisoner's paradox" and its follow-up dealing with some ethical questions entertaining.

An "insider trading paradox" is based on a similar probabilistic idea but does not have much philosophical significance - I consider it an interesting textbook example.
