> I hate “one in a million” because its meaning depends on how many times you’re rolling the die! I'd argue that it doesn't depend on that at all. That is, its meaning is the same whether you're performing the trial once, a million times, ten million times, or whatever. It's rather whether the implication is "the possibility may be disregarded" or "this should be expected to happen occasionally" that depends on how many times you're performing the trial. |
