I think it's strange this sudden comeback of a theory that was dismissed more than 70 years ago by Fisher and many others, but no one, as far as I know, cares to explain why Fisher was wrong and why the theory is right. It makes me very suspicious, to be honest.

Actually, many Bayesian textbooks cover that. Try Jaynes - Probability Theory: The Logic of Science.
