In real-world situations, there are many ways E can occur, so p(E|H) should integrate over all those ways (using “1−∏(1−pi)”).AI Verified source (Feb 18, 2024)

Relevant: in the source, this line appears inside the author’s methodological explanation of how to do probabilistic inference for the COVID-origins debate—explicitly discussing Bayes factors and conditional probabilities after saying probabilistic inference is the best way to reach a decision—so it strongly signals a determinable stance on Bayesian analysis as the proper framework here.

Relevant: in the source, this quote appears inside a numbered explanation of how to estimate Bayes factors and conditional probabilities, immediately after the author says the judges found probabilistic inference to be the best way to reach a decision on COVID origins and that “We of course agree.” So the quote is one of the author’s reasons/explanations within a Bayesian/probabilistic framework for settling the COVID-19 origins question.

The exact sentence appears verbatim as item 4 in the article at the supplied URL, and that page is dated February 18, 2024 and attributed on-page to “Ben.” The fetchable source therefore supports the quote text, source URL, date, and attribution as stored.

Disputed
The quote is real and verbatim in Ben’s “Rootclaim’s COVID-19 Origins debate results,” dated February 18, 2024. The submitted URL is a different post—Jonathan’s “COVID origins debate: Response to Scott Alexander” from April 1, 2024—which reproduces the passage in a copied section and shows p_{i} there, so the stored source URL/attribution set is not canonical.

The source URL is fetchable and shows the post “Rootclaim’s COVID-19 Origins debate results,” dated February 18, 2024 and authored by “Ben”; line 43 contains the quoted sentence verbatim: “In real-world situations, there are many ways E can occur, so p(E|H) should integrate over all those ways (using “1−∏(1−pi)”).” That confirms the quote is real and correctly attributed to Ben on that page. The submitter’s provided passage title appears to reference a different Rootclaim post, but the URL itself contains the quote.
