Reply to comment by FellowConspirator in ELI5: why does/doesn’t probability increase when done multiple times? by Reason-Local
Again, this discussion was very much about simple odds, not the complex odds of all the multiple factors. Dude even ironically used the words "gambler's fallacy" to describe what he thought I was doing by saying that one outcome does not effect the next.
In the real world, yes, there are connections between complex events like plane crashes, and the "odds" aren't static like dice.
