Who thinks they're going to live 26,000 years?

- maxerickson 12y agoThat's exactly the intended meaning. Using 1 as the first number in the ratio makes people think of it like a comet, once you see it you won't see it again for the given period (and will not live to see another). Using 4 in 100,000 would be an attempt to get more people to reason clearly about what the odds mean.
