For example, we know from years of dealing with probabilistic inference that it is highly unintuitive, and it is a challenge to translate to human language. We therefore focused more on an intuitive understanding of the evidence, with probabilistic inference used only as a background framework.AI Verified source (Feb 18, 2024)

Relevant: the quote is directly about using probabilistic inference as the framework for the COVID-19 origins debate, and the immediately following source context says the authors were surprised the judges found probabilistic inference to be "the best way to reach a decision" and adds, "We of course agree," making a determinate stance on the complete statement substantially more likely.

Relevant. In source context, the quote is part of a discussion of how to evaluate COVID-origin evidence using probabilistic inference/Bayes factors; immediately after this quote, the author says the judges found probabilistic inference "the best way to reach a decision" and "We of course agree." That makes a stance on whether Bayesian/probabilistic analysis is the right framework substantially more likely and determinable.

Although the quote says probabilistic inference was used only as a background framework for communication reasons, the source context immediately adds that the judges found probabilistic inference “the best way to reach a decision” and that “we of course agree.” That strongly indicates support for Bayesian/probabilistic analysis as the right framework for deciding the COVID-19 origins question.
