i appreciate the interesting response. here’s how I think of it. If you have a one in a million event happen every day you might suspect that something is up with probability. But you can’t neglect the fact that there could very well be a million different one in a million events. I dont think observing unlikely events makes it more likely that something weird is going on with your particular universe. just that the search space of unlikely events is large enough that you’ll wind up seeing quite a few of them.
