Flush v Straight

I've read a couple of sources that said it was an anomaly of the game. Both indicated that a flush was more likely than a straight.

That is incorrect. Out of the total of 133,784,560 7-card combinations, 4,047,644 contain a flush, and 6,180,020 contain a straight.

Yeh, I would have to guess throughout the evolution of poker everyone was smart enough to rate the hand strenghts correctly...So if the rules say a flush is harder to get, Id have to believe it
