Zachriel: Orthodox probability tells us that Roulette is random but this is not the case.
DaveScot | Quote | | random failures seldom if ever result in improved performance. Random mutations are in fact random degradations. |
Zachriel: Roulette seldom if ever result in me winning. Roulette is in fact random losers. (The "seldom" is crucial. And DaveScot doesn't apparently know what "random" means in science. Probability Theory was developed in France by a lawyer and an indulgent pleasure-seeker to resolve a gamblers' dispute. It's ALL about the winners and losers.)

It turns out that we can observe beneficial variations in populations, variations that are subject to selection. Modern genetics has determined that the source of novel variation is mutation. (Note: mutations are not quite random with respect to position in the genome.)
Addendum: When I shoot Craps, there seems to an inordinate number of sevens rolled — more than any other number. Are my dice loaded?
