Inscrutable evils: still numerous, still relevant

TLDR
In this paper, Carlin Watson has recently challenged my Bayesian formulation of the evidential argument from evil, and argued that I am not entitled to those assumptions, and thus, why my argument survives his critique.

I reply briefly, showing why I am entitled to those assumptions, and thus, why my argument survives his critique.
