This article does not yet actually say what de Finetti diagrams are. But it looks as if they may simply associated probability measures on a set of three points with points in the interior of a triangle in the usual way, interior points being convex combinations of vertices. Is that what these are? If so, it's hard to believe no one did this before de Finetti. Michael Hardy 23:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
