In my question What does it mean to do MLE with a continuous variable at least two (and perhaps all three) answerers told me, essentially, that instead of looking at probability, I should be looking at probability density.
I don't understand why this is. If one person told me that I'd ask them to clarify the answer to explain it more, but I'm not sure what to do if I need the same clarification from multiple people. I don't want to clutter up the site with the same comment repeated over and over, but I also want a way of notifying all relevant parties I'd like clarification.
