I don't believe you can apply 'probability
theory' to real numbers.

You're free to believe 1 + 1 = 3
That may be your subjective reality, but it's not objective reality.
Kevin's point is that there is no such thing as objective reality. The
universe is probabilities. It is highly probable that 1 + 1 + 2 , and
for that reason it nearly always does. But there is a very small
probability that 1 + 1 = 3 , and sometimes it does. Equally, the
probability that 1 + 1 = 297 is not 0, but just very small. There are
no absolutes in the universe.
That is probably the most important point to grasp in trying to
understand modern physics.
