Default Re: A coincidence I have a problem with.

Beyond that the fact that they arent *that* close, you have to realize that this is just cherry picking out of a huge data set of "non coincidences," in as much as nature is full of of all sorts of things that dont work out so cleanly.


I mean, if you throw a few million handfulls of 20 coins on the ground, some packets will come up w/ 20 heads. Looking just at that, yeah, it looks pretty odd. But you need to ignore all the other ones.
