Denjoy's probabalistic interpretation of the RH

Here's an idea for getting the RH proved

Whenever G H Hardy took a journey he would always send Littlewood a postcard that was too small to contain the proof. Since God wouldn't let him get posthumous credit for the proof, He would insure that Hardy would get back OK. (or somehting like that)

The "probabilistic interpretation" link was good. I would question both of the main assumptions, however. They smack of common fallacies in probability, such as "if we can't see why one outcome should be more likely than another, they ought to have equal probability" and "if we can't see any connection between events, they ought to be independent."

Still, the assumptions are not unreasonable. But then, neither is the RH.
