description It is shown that all the Frequentist methods are equivalent from astatistical point of view, but the physical significance of the confidenceintervals depends on the method. The Bayesian Ordering method is presented andconfronted with the Unified Approach in the case of a Poisson process withbackground. Some criticisms to both methods are answered. It is also arguedthat a general Frequentist method is not needed.
