Gee I really hope this doesn’t turn into another Fyron vs someone else smack down.
Jack, I see what you were trying to do with your thought experiment there. What it really demonstrates is how piss poor a 99% success rate is with things that are really important. I’ve seen similar stats regarding air travel, how if only 99% of our planes made it safely millions of people would be dead. We even had a poster up where I worked at a fast-food restaurant as a teen. “99% isn’t good enough” or something like that.
If we lived in a society where people were randomly locked up, where the cops went around and picked up 1 out of every 100 people and threw them in jail for no reason I don’t think we’d tolerate it. What we have to hope is that our justice systems are way more accurate than 99%.
