Don't take unnecessary chances!

Henry E. Kyburg

pp. 9-26

The dominant argument for the introduction ofpropensities or chances as an interpretation of probabilitydepends on the difficulty of accounting for single caseprobabilities. We argue that in almost all cases, the``single case'' application of probability can be accountedfor otherwise. ``Propensities'' are needed only intheoretical contexts, and even there applications ofprobability need only depend on propensities indirectly.
