Which kind of statistical reasoning techniques are
applicable for software reliability?

We don't know, since we don't have the data that tells
us what happens in the real world.

You can have an opinion, and others can have different
opinions.  How are we to chose between them?

Technique X might be popular, because that was used in
the past, or somebody published a well cited paper on it.

It's opinions all the way down.
