Kairosfocus shuffles the shells one mo' time.

(I paraphrase) Discover 500 shaken pennies lined up to make the ASCII code of a 72-letter piece of text, it is as one straw in a hay bale 1000 light years on its side ... 'Entropy' tells us to expect 50/50 H/T, since the space is dominated by microstates summing to that macrostate***. Now take 250 'bits' each lined up with its complement, as if 'twere DNA ...

You palmed the pea, you charlatan! What is the frequency of viable DNA targets in the space? Never mind its size. What does the space of English or pennies have to do with the price of fish anyway? The Universal Phase Space approach to the Warranted Inference. Some spaces are sparsely populated with viable strings therefore all are. That's some abduction!

***(72 ASCII characters could, of course, contain roughly 50/50 1's and 0's)

I need a break from all that TARD: I missread pennies as penis. No wonder though, you've mentioned KF and stated "Never mind its size" in the same thrad.
