Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3864746, member: 55"] I do understand your point, and we're arguing about syntax. You are fully correct that I am not arguing that Team A, coming in, had a zero per cent chance to win either game one or game two. I am, however, saying not as a matter of hard statistics but common sense, that if you line up 200 teams on 100 courts, and you tell someone that the team in the left get swept in the first two games, how many of the 100 games that we're about to play do you expect the team on the left to win, without knowing more about how close the games were or computer rankings or anything else, most people using common sense would answer higher than 72. But I acknowledge that is neither provable nor statistical science. [/QUOTE]
