What makes you think the signal is stronger than the noise?
- philh 12y agoIt doesn't need to be. My argument never assumed that. I don't know where you get the impression that it did. Take nine 0s and a single 1, then generate ten random numbers, identically distributed however you choose, and add one of them to each of your starting numbers. Ask someone to pick out where the original 1 was. However you generated the random numbers, their best strategy is to choose the largest resulting number. Probably tapping out here.
