Blaze's ego is astounding, thinking that he has things so well worked out that his ramblings about probability have meaning.
Even if he were that good at working out probability, a few facts remain that make it worthless. 1: There is no such things as probability, things either happen or they don't. Rossi either IS real, or he is NOT real.. There is no such thing as probability in reality. 2: What is the difference between a 30% chance and a 70% chance? Answer 1: 40% Answer 2: Nothing much, both means that there is a very real possibility of it going either way. If you were invested in oil, it would mean that there is a very real risk that you must take seriously. If you are on the side of good, you know that there is an extraordinary possibility that might be worthy of attention, but might not pan out. But the difference between 0.1% chance and a 0.0000001% chance is huge! With the 0.1% there is a long shot, but one that could still very well pan out. Just 1 in 1,000 is not too distant odds to let one ignore something potentially significant good or bad. But 0.0000001 is 1 in ten million, an almost impossible long shot worthy of no attention/investment unless there are enough of these low level 'promises/threats' to bring it up to a level of relevance.
