Jaynes' work is valid within limits as a concept of method for some areas of science and engineering. However, his error was in effect trying to replace the logical law of identity with the mathematical law of…
E.T. Jaynes' work on induction entails a subtle fallacy: logic is subordinated to math, effacing logical units and qualitative concepts as a category. See David Harriman's book "The Logical Leap: Induction in Physics"…
