Conditional independence Intuition

We try to give a frequentist intuition to the sometimes confusing idea of Conditional Independence. How is it possible that two variables are not independent (i.e., knowing something about one tells you something about the probability of the other), but they *are* independent conditioned on a third one (it "explains away" their dependence).

We use the technique of slicing and summing / averaging which is at the basis of all Bayesian inference.
