Abstract
This paper takes Brenner & Quan (The Statistician, 39, pp. 391-397) to task for their claim that a Bayesian analysis of the parameter of a binomial distribution gives a confidence interval which is shorter than the classical one. Brenner & Quan's interval is not a confidence interval in the usual sense: the probability (long run relative frequency) that it contains the true value can be substantially less than the confidence claimed. Properties of these intervals are investigated.
