Again, the mathematical probabilities of this occurring are not problematic. They are fundamentally absurd.
Exactly how absurd is it? 10^-10? 10^-203? 10^-654321?

What are the inputs to this probability function?

How many possible combinations?

What are the weighting factors and how were they derived?

I see that you continue to use skewed quotes even though you don't bother to check the context and have been told about this literary form used during Victorian times.

I await your reply which will insinuate that I am stupid because I don't understand a probability calculation that you refuse to supply.
