Do you deny that "123456798" *is* "a sequence containing all nine numbers"? Does this mean that "123456789" *is* "123456798" by the transitive property? NO. There are multiple different meanings of the word "is" here, and the particular one that applies here does not mean it can be substituted for the more general description in a sentence about the probability of getting a member of the set of such sequences. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
