I find the notion that there are no errors in a body of work more than twice the length of The Lord of the Rings is one that I assign a vanishingly small probability of being accurate to.
This is a really evocative phrasing that helps the point a lot. I’m updating my position accordingly. There’s an extremely high probability that something of the length of the sequences has at least a few things wrong with it. That that probability is less than the probability that there’s a mistake in at least one of someone’e beliefs shouldn’t be that relevant because the underlying probability is still extremely high.
