Now you sound like my stats prof who said if you flipped a coin a hundred
billion times it would come up heads half the time. Just because you can't
do that in your life time doesn't mean it's an invalid statement.

I then asked what the chances were that it would come up heads something
other than half the time at which point he got really mad at me.
