“If you think 17 “mistakes” all went one way without corruption and animus as the DOJ claimed yesterday despite the odds of same being mathematically proved as 1 in 131,072, well, you’re not very smart.” K Denninger

Post 16- Some readers may want to dive deeper, so a reference is cited below:

This is Article 1 in a series of stand-alone articles on basic probability. A common topic in introductory probability is solving problems involving coin flips.

Here is the final model of question discussed in this article: "A fair coin is flipped 20 17 times in a row.

That is one divided by two or one-half (0.5), then raised to the 17th power. (0.000007629394531250000)

Great math problem for the home-schoolers. Again, thanks for the post.

Another FReeper made a great analogy: that’s like flipping a coin 17 times and getting heads every time. Beyond plausible.

Lindsey seems like he's on the ball so far. He's trying to be aggressive, has a decent tone, but still sounds a little nervous.

C'mon Lindsey.

Some caller to Rush brought that up yesterday. A great point!
