54 thousand consecutive fair rolls of dice, displaying seven dots on the upper surfaces of the dice are consistent with the game of craps. If such a sequence was observed it would be a miracle.

Your sequence is highly inconsistent with the distributions of fair dice. I'd weigh the dice before I called it a miracle. I'd also check your pockets for aces and send Uri Geller for donuts.

Precisely the point. Even though it is a outcome consistent with the game of craps, it is unexpected and remarkable.
