Just because when you flip a coin you are equally likely to get either heads or tails, doesn't mean that you won't get 20 tails in a row. Unfortunately people do assume that that's what it means.


Yes, this is a good reminder. But I think what caught me by surprise was that I don't recall having the same amount of obvious bursts in VV2. I didn't know if something had been added to or removed from the VV3 programming that would cause it to differ. By your explaination, nothing has changed, I (and others) am just experiancing actual randomness that is overt.
