Thanks for confirming my suspicion. So would it be fair to say that PP is an interface to statistics, so that those who know how to code but not advanced stats can do stats without learning it? (On simple problems)
As it stands, I'd agree with that---but the characterization definitely depends on who you talk to. I might be in the minority among "PP people," since the hype is still going strong and some smart people seem to see more potential than I (and you) do.
