If we accept your parameter that "we're not being hustled" (ie. its a 50/50 shot on each individual flip of eother heads or tails)

A !-> B

You're not being hustled. That means nobody is sitting here influencing outcomes somehow to make you pursue a bad bet, or rigging the coin toss repeatedly in one direction until they can get you to bet in the other, etc, It surely doens't mean the coin is fair! It should be obvious that the coin is not fair.

The whole point is that the coin isn't fair.

It makes sense to me but you're not the first person to suggest that I've got brain-matter issues.
