Oh hey GR, old post of yours there I'd like to debate. I believe that in taking a "chance", you should gather all available information so you know what the odds are, and then always pick the one that has the greatest chance for success.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
