Hi Jim: You wrote: >>I have a bias against statements of such certainty as zero probability. I spent too much time on graduate degrees in mathematics with minors in physics to feel comfortable with certainty assertions such as probability zero<< Well, my undergraduate degree is in mechanical engineering and I only work to industry standard tolerances, so I guess I assumed that folks will understand that the statement "probability zero" actually means "probability approximately zero." :) >>Your world is safer than mine.<< Yes, it is, Jim. My world is not the world of "The Mechanic" videoflicks.com - a movie - it's more like "Dumb and Dumber" washingtonpost.com washingtonpost.com enquirer.com kovr13.com naplesnews.com sptimes.com bluebird.showme.net etc. etc. etc.
