The usual objection against this principle is that it puts a premium on ignorance; if you do not know anything about the alternatives, then the principle allows you to make a certain statement about them; if you know certain things, then that statement is no longer permis ...

If the distribution follows some smoothness conditions, then the probability of any given event in the limit goes to 0, so we cannot compute the probability of a disjoint collection of events simply based on their individual probabilities as in the discrete case. Indeed the problem becomes much wors ...
