With all due respect, it is blatantly obvious to anyone this side of Christmas, that two dice will approximately double your chances of rolling a particular value. So no, the "8.33%" doesn't bother me at all.
This game was written with the expectation that it would be embraced as a generality and not a mathematical investigation. I would therefore find it offensive if it were disallowed publication on that merit.
I have no intention of becoming a mathematician. In fact I have always felt offended by mathematicians, not least because my father, who is a mathematician, believes anybody who cannot understand mathematics must be "mentally disabled".
Granted whence in context, he backtracks to "basic arithmetic", but of course that's true, in fact if you can't do basic arithmetic then you probably can't read or write either. Thus it is a deeper bias he harbours and this has always been his insinuation.
Of course not all mathematicians are like my father and so I mean no disrespect, but suspending publication of this article under arguably similar conditions is not appreciated.
The articles on Séj, both here and at my website ChecToe.Org, will remain unchanged.
