Sep 19, 2019 at 20:36 comment added Francois Ziegler From Jack Good, Good Thinking (1983, pp. 321, 281, 35, 24): “Good’s alter ego”, “introduced as a joint author to justify the use of “we” in a publication.” “Doog is the guy who spells everything backwards.” “In the spoken version of this paper I named my position after “the Tibetan Lama K. Caj Doog,” and I called my position “Doogian” (...) “Bayesian” is misleading, and “Goodian” or “Good” is absurd.”
