    I’m not saying the probability of literally everything is 1. I am saying nonzero. 0.00003 is not 1 nor 0.

    I am not assuming the problem will inevitably be fixed. I think 0.5 is a reasonable p for most.

      You do not know that it is nonzero, that’s just an assumption you made up.

      Also, Laplace’s law of succession necessarily implies that, over an infinite number of attempts and as long as there is a possibility of success, the probability that the next attempt results in success approaches 1.
