Mar 2, 2021 at 14:50 comment added Xi'an @fblundun: I cannot claim any personal knowledge of Kolmogorov's meaning but the way I understood the "isolated" was as "single" in opposition to the collection of all possible conditioning events.
Mar 2, 2021 at 13:32 comment added fblundun What does the word "isolated" mean in that Kolmogorov quote? Does it just mean "outside of the context of a limiting argument"?

Feb 6, 2015 at 14:47 comment added Yair Daon This is just plain wrong. If you take a rigorous course in probability theory you will see that conditioning on events of measure zero is possible, and practical. Consider a bitivariate Gaussian. Everyone knows you can condition on the first variable taking the value zero, though this event has zero probability. See wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
