FAI advocates are not satisfied with a 99.999% chance that the universe will not be turned into a uniform distribution of paperclips.


99.999%? I'd totally take it.- if it was a real number, calculated by some trustworthy method, and not a bogus expert estimate.

Of course if you can do that, probability ~1 (i.e., proven theorem given that transistors obey stated axioms) is probably just as easy.
