or if you look at it the other way

there's a 19 in 20 chance it won't malfunction and a 3 in four chance that
if it does it won't be critical.

19/20 or a 95% chance not to sweat Edna's stuff  and on the 5% chance you do
say uh-oh there's a 75% chance you're still relatively ok.  Inversely there
is only a 1.25% chance you'll be in real trouble.


You just need to tone down those negative waves and look at things more
positively.

I don't see a 1.25% chance adding up to a 50/50 after a couple of months
unless you have really REALLY upset the dice fieties, ruined your dice karma
or what ever else you prefer to call your dice turning on you.
