This is where Bayes bites in practice: we can know that impatient and long-minded behaviors are correlated to outcomes, ie p(quit | impatient), without the outcome meaningfully informing which case we have, ie p(impatient | quit).

That’s because people are complicated and do things for many reasons, so people quitting when we cut their pay might not tell us they’re impatient.

I suspect the intent is what you say, but I don’t think the outcome is.
