I'm still betting Fund is flat wrong on this

How can it be proved "flat wrong" by just the outcome?

If I say there is a 50% chance that heads comes up in a coin toss, or a 1 in 6 chance a "4" comes up on the roll of a single die; would "tails" or rolling a "1" make my probability assement incorrect?

Boy, talk about backpedaling. Now you are trying to define what "chance" is.

Miers will be confirmed. Fund cannot get her denied by arbitrarily fiddling with the "numbers" or the "chances" that she may not be confirmed. It's a game.
