What if you know jar A is 80% red and jar B is 0% red, and you know you’re looking at one of them, and your confidence that it’s A is 0.625? Then you have probability 0.5 that a bead chosen from the jar in front of you is red, but will update upwards with probability 0.625 if you’re given the information of which jar you’re looking at.
