  The present article is the reply to the discussion of our earlier "Not only
defended but also applied" (arXiv:1006.5366, to appear in The American
Statistician) that arose from our memory of a particularly intemperate
anti-Bayesian statement in Feller's beautiful and classic book on probability
theory. We felt that it was worth exploring the very extremeness of Feller's
words, along with similar anti-Bayesian remarks by others, in order to better
understand the background underlying controversies that still exist regarding
the foundations of statistics. We thank the four discussants of our article for
their contributions to our understanding of these controversies as they have
existed in the past and persist today.
