You have just proved my point without realizing it.

You agree that 49 of 50 turning up heads is impossible.
Well, not quite, it's 22 trillion to 1 odds against.

So we must conclude something is wrong with the coin. It could not be a fair coin and come up 49 heads.

Bush exceeding the MOE in 16 states is impossible.
Well, not quite, it's 13.5 trillion to 1.

So we must conclude something is wrong with the election. It could not have been a fair count.

So maybe now you see why circumstantial evidence based on statistical probabilities is used in a court of law, even if it is kept hidden from the court of public opinion.


Thanks for proving my point.
