The probability of picking any number in the range of 0 to 1 is zero. If you are not even going to concede that point then there is no point in even having a discussion.

I think we may not understand one another's argument. Admittedly, I have no idea what you are refering to above. Please clarify your point.

It is impossible to calculate the probability that you select any single number between 0 and 1. If you try, you will only get zero. All we are able to do is calculate the probability that the number falls within a certain bound.
This is what people use the Poisson distribution for.
