Work through this:

I did that a couple of years ago and now I don't know how I could ever 
_not_ have understood Bayes intuitively.

No kidding - Eliezer's tutorial is great (play around with the slides).

Of course, this does not mean that the problem of the priors has been 
solved ;-))

Regards,
Günther
