Don’t think, try the experiment.
-John Hunter
In the context of probability theory:
Don’t prove, try the Monte Carlo.
soreff’s point applies to that too, though I won’t give any concrete examples for (ahem) acausal reasons.
Whether that is good advice or not depends on the evidence already in hand, and the difficulty of the experiment. Will ice survive heating to a million kelvin at standard pressure?
