You've mentioned a couple of times that you should never set your priors to one because that would mean no evidence could change your mind. I don't see why I shouldn't have my prior set to one, but then given some evidence update my credence to close to zero. What is so special about the prior one? Yeah, this is a good question. I could probably be more clear about explaining this.
