The
World is NOT Flat
And You Can Bet on THAT!
Johnnie Cochrane while defending O.J.
Simpson was right, but the facts were wrong. If
you have a blood-soaked glove that has fully dried; the sticky nature of hemoglobin causes
leather to shrink. Nothing says "not
guilty" better than a piece of evidence that appears to exclude your client.
Johnnie, along with all other lawyers
and most random-rollers know that if you can't stand on the facts, then you "stand on
the table". That means, grand-stand,
showboat, use dubious scientific calculations, tainted logic, the laws of mathematics,
prevarication and bluster as you defend for your client or in the case of those who don't
believe in Precision-Shooting, defend your belief.
The Road of Erroneous Beliefs is paved with bullshit!
There's an old prairie saying from
the Great Plains. It goes something like "The earth must be flat and falls off at the edge
of town, because when people leave here, they never come back." It's not true of course, but it sure seems that way
to some small-town folks. It's the same way
with small-minded folk, only more so!
Imagine believing that a human could
NEVER run a four-minute mile. There were lots
of theories why it couldn't be done. It was
argued for decades that gravity, physics, nature, wind-resistance, human dynamics and
mechanics, bio-limitation, genetics, physiology, muscle-limits, brain-frontiers, lung
capacity and even "God's will" were why it was IMPOSSIBLE! Some of those ideas actually made quite a bit
of sense back then. Roger Bannister recorded
the first one, but there was a rash of sub-four-minute miles right after his. Do you think that human-beings suddenly changed
overnight? No, not at all. Instead, once Bannister proved that it could be
done, others followed and made it look simple. What
was the artificial barrier that was holding them back?
If the four-minute mile was the
milestone today, there would be the same hoards of educated people saying the same thing
that they said back then
IT CAN'T BE DONE
IT'S HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE!
Why settle for true random outcomes from the dice when you
really don't have to?
When I throw, if the dice hit the
"egg-crate" foam back-wall of the table, I've made a mistake and I can pretty
much guarantee you that the result will be TRULY random!
There is a small smooth margin at the bottom of the
"alligator-bumps" that is flat and just begging to be gently kissed and caressed
by the dice.
Sure there are 36 dice combinations, but if we arrange the dice
properly, then roll them so that the horizontal axis is eliminated from the equation, we
no longer have a negative-expectation game.
Good Luck & Good Skill at the Tables
and in Life.
