Hmm, frequentist probability is most usually described in terms of, er, frequency; what fraction of the time we will get a given result when we run the test. But if you take it as referring to an instant of time (and you assume small world and no fuzziness) in that case I agree the epsilon would disappear.
It’s a minor point, but wackily enough, the above quote is a subtle equivocation on the word “time”. I can flip N exchangeable coins simultaneously and count the number of times I see “heads”, and this is perfectly sensible in the frequentist interpretation. Physical clock time is something else again.
