Re: opps

JF should not have just stood there when the boss said "You said there was only a 1 percent chance..."

He should have pointed out that once an x% chance event occurs, its 100%. Even math literate people often don't appreciate this.

BTW: Unless JF had valid statistics on the electrical company doing this exact same job, his 1% odds estimate is bogus.
