| Dec 13, 2019 at 8:14 | comment | added | Bennet | OK, I see, in effect the definition of a "5% event" is something that happens 1 in 20 times, right? And probability theory lets us manipulate such quantities in a consistent manner. Makes sense, thanks. I'll read up the article - it starts a bit heavy on the meta, but maybe that's what I need! | |
