"Update your priors" is a common expression in English:

Your wiktionary link indicates it is not a common expression in English but instead something "rationalist community" people say.

No it's not. Where do you come up with this? Just because you searched the phrase on Google and there's a single result for it on a wiki? Who do you know that's using this expression regularly?

"Common" is an exaggeration.
