I'm curious about that perspective. Isn't it really hard for statisticians to give probabilities to things that have never happened before? Especially in the presence of important non stationarity ("the technology is proliferating")? Like, one can construct a lot of models which give non-zero probability, but the available data gives you very little ability to distinguish between them.
