I have no interest in laundering the misinterpretation of p-values. I don’t know whose time is saved, frequentists don’t care about the Bayesian interpretation anyway and Bayesians don’t need to restrict themselves to a particular prior. The fact that in some cases you can choose one particular prior to get a numerical value for one probability that is equal to the numerical value for the probability of a completely different thing calculated by someone else doesn’t help anyone much. Bayesians can get the same result on their own if they want.
