Indeed, Markov models and chains are an application of Bayesian statistics,
so everything that's "Markovian" is "Bayesian" too :-)

Those same forces that drive a genius to create the things or ideas that
entertain or enlighten us often gobble so much of his personality that he
has none left for the social graces [...], and the very act of creation
requires such focused concentration that vast areas of knowledge may be
completely overlooked. Well, so what? There is no evidence that generalized
skills are in any way superior to specialized brilliance, and certainly
that sputterless little candleflame of the mediocre mind known as "common
sense" has never produced anything worth celebrating.
