Your view on statistics is not correct. There is no "fair" game. If you observed something with small probability, it won't be corrected later -- as you pointed out, and it won't be diluted also; you go back and modify your assumption, that's what should happen.

Bayesian's view always make sense, p=0.5 or not.
