I'm not a statistician but as I understand it, in Bayesian terms, when you get some new piece of information you must update your beliefs to incorporate the new information. So you take your belief prior to the new information and incorporate the new information to get your updated belief.

That's cool. It sounds like how we all learned to think since time immoral, so I can hardly dispute it.
