Possibly wrong use of the word "tenant" .

Version and Location

  • No date can be provided, the semantic error occurs in the version provided on the website.
  • Near the bottom of p.90.

Proposed correction
Instead of

This procedure for acting optimally under uncertainty ... is the central tenant of Bayesian decision making.

it should say

This procedure for acting optimally under uncertainty ... is the central tenet of Bayesian decision making.

to likely carry the actually intended meaning. Apparently this happens often enough that it warrants an article by Merriam-Webster?

(Awesome book, btw.)

Yikes, embarrassing. Fixed. Thanks!
