GB,
While your statement certainly reflects my position on the question, I believe that in order to reflect Tim's position you would need to "add" 1% to your first sentence and "subtract" a "nearly" from the second.

The you would be wrong.
While Tim, I believe, invented IIITBTSB, in many threads he has also discussed not only the semantics issue and factual probabilities versus the practical world. In the non-TWP practical world, IISTBTSB. Tim and I are in complete agreement on that. If he were not so tired of this subject coming up again and again and people trying to invent balks to second that are either not balks or just do happen in the world that has a blue sky, he would let you know himself.
