My TLDR summary: all probabilities are conditional. If you have two probabilities for the same event and they aren't the same, you're just assuming different priors in the statement of the probability. (and if you can't find any different priors, maybe you've discovered something new)


Good summary. If I were in charge, I wouldn't even have a notion of unconditional probability -- everything is conditional on something.
