Bayes's theorem prevents confusion of the inverse, meaning it helps to accurately calculate the probability of A given B, without mistakenly calculating the probability of B given A. The other options are not true; Bayes's theorem takes into account base rates, requires a significant amount of information, and may not be duplicated by intuitive judgment.
