Nassim Taleb somehow likes to beat up on normals...
We Bayesians have similar notions, but we usually try not to overly bully frequentist methods, the poor things. Also, being familiar with Bayesian methods, a lot of what Taleb is saying sounds vaguely familiar...
Well, frequentist methods are taking the blame for the most recent financial crisis, such as assuming a normal distribution when the empirical one is fat-tailed.
Perhaps the Bayesian methods will take the blame in the next financial crisis. Such as the error in estimating a non-stationary distribution and quantifying the uncertainty.
