Do these probabilities mean anything at all?
When Mosca and his colleagues surveyed cybersecurity experts last year, the forecast was sobering: a one-in-three chance that Q-Day happens before 2035. And the chances it has already happened in secret? Some people I spoke to estimated 15 percent—about the same as you’d get from one spin of the revolver cylinder.
This whole thing that you can rate your confidence 1-100, chant "Bayes," and it becomes a probability is endlessly frustrating. Sigma-additivity, shmiga-additivity!
