2. p=0 < = > Impossible (it's the same equivalence you used earlier)
(2) is axiomatic - and it's precisely the one I'm challenging.
Originally posted by DoctorScribblesI hold possibility/impossibility/necessity to be logical states. An 'impossible' sequence/event is one that would involve a logical contradiction. So, for an infinite number of coin tosses (with two sides - heads and tails), an outcome which includes a reading of "six dots" or "ace of spades" would be impossible.
