Then according to stats it would take infinite attempts to succeed. That's not how life works ;) edit: a clarification, that's not how a single human's life works. It will work if you take all humans together into account. If you apply that logic to individuals individually then nobody succeeds ever. edit2: a single human life individually doesn't get enough attempts to be statistically significant enough.

The other side says that there’s a 75% chance of not failing ten times in a row. What this says is that it probably doesn’t just happen when it’s a sure thing.

Actually, this is how life works: some people never succeed at what they try to do. It does take an infinite number of attempts to assure 100% success.

As you imply, you don’t get infinite attempts because you’ll die at some point. Some people never succeed despite their best efforts, effectively taking them infinite attempts to succeed.
