Numbers Off the Board

Also, I must point out besides the outright lying of Charlieโ€™s below, thatโ€™s not fucking how the probability there works! Not even remotely close.

You know people told me all my life I was terrible at math, and I definitely am at the operational side, but my intuition is so vastly, vastly better than most peopleโ€™s.

Iโ€™m trying to watch a movie, enjoy myself tonight, so am not going to write out a whole post explaining why that probability calculation is all kinds of wrong but what he does is like figuring out how much flour to put in a cake not by looking at a recipe, but having your dog bark at a similar cake and determining the amount from how many barks occur.

I mean, writers are not supposed to be mathematicians or statisticians, but the outright lying combined with the utter innumeracy just makes me fucking rage.
