I actually have a question as it pertains to this.
Do you believe in 'unlucky people'?
If you flip a coin 10 times, and need to get a Heads on this coin for some reason, but you flip all Tails, the odds of this happening were 1 in 10,000 or so.
In Statistics, this generally doesn't mean 'every 10,000 people who flip a coin 10 times will have a person for whom it lands on Tails every time', but the chances that there is at least one person who has this outcome are now nontrivial.
In certain design structures we label those people as 'unlucky' and 'check the odds of there being unlucky people'.
So, just to be clear, we can agree that in a game of 10,000 players, if you gave them all a 'puzzle' where they had 10 tries to flip a coin to get something, there's 'a player whose experience results in them not receiving what 99.999% of other players receive'?
This is just 'clarifying terms and beliefs', so feel free to ignore it.
