Abstract: | In Nachbar 20] and, more definitively, Nachbar 22], I argued that, for a large class of discounted infinitely repeated
games of complete information (i.e. stage game payoff functions are common knowledge), it is impossible to construct a Bayesian learning theory
in which player beliefs are simultaneously weakly cautious, symmetric, and consistent. The present paper establishes a similar
impossibility theorem for repeated games of incomplete information, that is, for repeated games in which stage game payoff functions are private information.
