You say it’s not about the example, then go on to talk about the example...as I said, this article is only about betting insofar as it’s a toy example to illustrate ergodics. In the real world you wouldn’t analyze a bet this particular way, but that’s nitpicking and missing the point.

lol. Alright, I’m checking out of the discussion when a major subfield of mathematics is described as snake oil.

I did not say it was snake oil, just that it shows signs of being such. Then I described those signs. If you have counter arguments or pointers to such, I'd be happy to read them. I'd rather lose an argument and learn something than stay ignorant.
