Is there a name for when an unlucky thing happens but conditional on that unlucky thing happening it was the luckiest version of what could have happened? You get a rare illness but it’s the least damaging (& rarest form) of that illness? I feel there must be a #dnd term for it.

The “principle of indifference” is often presented as an intuitively obvious motivation for specifying “non-informative” prior models. Unfortunately that intuition quickly falls apart in many common applications. A long thread about applied probability theory!
