It depends how literally you take the comment. It would be fallacy to think that if tails comes up on the last 4 coin flips, that somehow there is some magical force increasing the chances of the next flip being heads. The meta-point here is that if Tracy and salespeople press on and don't quit that eventually they'll come up heads.
