Re: Restating the Paradox
I thought it was obvious that when I say "an event", I'm not talking about 100k hands of poker. I mean *an* event. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I know it's not the simplest issue in the world, but saying that you can predict an outcome as a probability range and the event in question being random are pretty much two separate issues.

There's no relevant or essential difference between the two, certainly not for the sake of this particular discussion. [ QUOTE ] saying that you can predict an outcome as a probability range and the event in question being random are pretty much two separate issues. [/ QUOTE ] I don't see exactly what you mean by "seperate issues", but again, for most normal uses in language, many kinds of events that have less than probability 1 (sometimes much less) are not considered "random" at all. That is, again, with regard to your last "refined" definition.
