:Suppose there's a square with a side length between o and 4 units.
:You don't know its length and you don't know the distribution of probabilities.
:Reasonably, you say it's equally likely to be more or less than two units long.
:0-4
:4
:You'd also like to know its area. Since area is the side length squared, you know it must be between o and 16, with an equal chance of being greater or lesser than 8.
:But a square with an area of 8 has a side length of 252, not 2!
:0->4
:0-316
:So which is it, mother fuckers?
:Which is it?
:I thought philosophy of probability would be the easiest a in a math degree, and now I'm not even sure reality is real.
:"reality"? That's just a convenient assumption for calculations.
