then you needn’t dual-wield the sword of Bayes and Occam’s razor; all you need is one big Bayesian blade

  Sweet, but according to the wiki the lightsaber doesn’t include full Bayesian reasoning, only the special case where the likelihood ratio of evidence is zero.
  
  One could argue that you can reach the lightsaber using the Bayesian blade, but not vice versa.
