27a. Old paper by Dennis Lindley

Lindley's famous paper (mostly on the basis of Zadeh's systematic citation campaign) is available online:

D.V.Lindley (1987). The probability approach to the treatment of uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems. Statistical Science 2, 3--44.

This is where the well-known paragraph "The only satisfactory description of uncertainty is probability. By this is meant that every uncertainty statement must be in the form of a probability; that several uncertainties must be combined using the rules of probability; and that the calculus of probabilities is adequate to handle all situations involving uncertainty" comes from.
