I added in a section about Benford’s law, a surprising functorial prior on first digits of numbers in randomly compiled data!
However, I have the impression that one critique of the paper at the time was that functorial seems to just encompass a bunch of known cases in statistics like equivariance and exchangability. It’s hard to cook up a natural example that isn’t covered in one of those cases.

Well, I suppose that’s true abstracting the general pattern of these cases is potentially useful anyway.
