And then the Vulcan would immediately adjust to always spouting off some random high-odds-against-us number all the time just to make sure they’d always succeed heroically.

If it doesn’t, presumably the Vulcan should then immediately adjust to believing the high-odds-against-us number. (This would admittedly be much more difficult to pull off consistently.)

Maybe Vulcans are physiologically incapable of believing anything with insufficient evidence.
