Probability

(Black says he’s ‘a freedom fighter’ Toronto Star Saturday, Sep. 23, 2006. 11:30 AM) “The chances of my committing a crime are less than zero and it is a horrible nightmare scenario for someone who is a law-abiding person … to be attacked as violently as I have, not only with these charges but with the ancillary efforts to restrict my ability to defend myself,” he says.

Last time I looked, probability was measured on a scale of zero to one.

The chance of any probability being less than zero is, of course, zero.

So for “The chances of my committing a crime are less than zero” I’d say he’s not telling the truth.

If nothing else he is breaking the laws of logic and mathematics in an effort to portray himself as a law-abiding person.

He needs a better script-writer.

I’ll stand by that.
