Oh please. That link DEMOLISHES your folklore. Can you even print the final calculation for probability? I bet that you didn't even read it to the end.

Repeat after me: Any non-infinite probability can be expressed in a finite amount of time. I don't give a damn how long it takes, it will happen eventually no matter how improbable. Improbable is not impossible. Do you think the Lottery Commission draws every combination of balls to prove that it is possible before playing the game? Sheesh.
