I dunno. The way I see it, it's the same as saying that generating 3 5 2 7 4 1 7 is much less likely than generating something that isn't that.

But I guess someone a lot smarter than me came up with this kind of stuff. *shrugs*


Consider this analogy; 5 balls are randomly selected from a pool of 5 white balls and 995 black balls. As it turns out, all 5 selections pick a white ball. While it's certainly true that selecting those 5 balls was just as likely as selecting any other 5 balls, it's nonetheless clear that the selection process wasn't uniformly random, because it's vastly more probable that at least some of the black balls be selected.
