    Well, a high probability doesn’t mean it will happen, and a low probability doesn’t mean it won’t.

    (A tossed coin that shows head the first 5 times and after that it always shows up tails still has a probability of 0% head and 100% tails, assuming you don’t know which coin toss this is.)

      Your rational and completely correct refutation to my monkey’s paw has foiled me this time, but I’ll be back. Muwahahaha!!
