>> but I’m thinking you’re probably the kind of guy who doesn’t put much faith into this fancy math stuff, and whatnot.

LOL - that’s rich given your emphasis on probability and an intrinsically non-distributive single sample of 1. Should I have faith in “fancy math stuff”, does that disrupt the balance of your reasoning?

No. It pretty much reinforces precisely what I thought. Only a douchebag would suggest that a sample size of 1 out of 1750, is statistically the same as a sample size of 400 out of 750K.
