Looks very interesting and well written.

I do have a question about baysesian statistics. What does a probability of 1 mean? What does it mean that a person is completely sure about the outcome of an event?

For a frequentist 1, means that every observation in the past has been the same, and then you have to decide if there are enough observations to infer about the future.
