      A Bayesian prior is your unique perspective that can become modified into a posterior by evidence.

      It is the consideration that evidence does not uniquely determine our understanding of reality, that evidence can be interpreted by different people in different ways.

      Discussing priors is an acknowledgement of the fundamentally subjective nature of truth and scientific testing.
