Not to be too thick but wouldn't it seem like a banal point if instead of "iron bar" we were to say "measurement dial" and instead of "specific distance" we say "number of units on dial" and if instead of "left" or "right" we said "positive" or "negative".

So if we then say "after enough trials, the measurement dial's positive or negative reading tells us which slot machine offers the better winning probability", would that still seem like something worth publishing a paper on?

Or have I just totally missed the point?
