I’m curating this post. Reading this post was a turning point for me from taking counting arguments seriously to largely rejecting them without a strong reason to think the principle of indifference holds. I thought the reductio arguments at the start were really well chosen to make the conclusion seem obvious (at least against the strict form of the argument) without leaving room for ML-specific nitpicks.
