In Response To: Another worked example (Timothy Chow)

" Any reasonable probability distribution that you postulate is going to have some threshold."

I disagree. For example if there is an added plausible requirement that the value be a whole number then there could be values X and Y with X > Y where it is correct to switch at X but not at Y.
