Re: Speaking in Jaberwocky
I'm of a different opinion. What counts as being advantageous to a society is what is really important. That includes the opinions of the members of the society.

Tell that to the casinos. Knowing what the probabilities are for a roulette wheel ensures that the house has the power to always win in the end.
And tell that to the people playing our national lottery. They increased the numbers you can choose to play from 49 to 52 (unannounced, of course). And the winner is... wait for it... wait for it...the CEO of the company contracted by the Government to run the Lotto...That guy gets millions. As someone said: Gambling was invented by a guy who knew basic maths conning persons who can't do any form of maths.

Yip. A few years ago someone fired one shot at a crowd from the top of a high-rise building close to Ellis Park. There were 20 000 people sitting on the stand he could see from that window. The shot hit one person.
