The important thing to remember is that (as Warp has been trying to point 
out), when the probability tends mathematically to 0 due to infinite 
element, it neither *requires* nor *absolutely excludes* something from 
happening.  0001020304...9596979899 is just as likely a random number as 
7531963568...1739942680, and either *can* happen in an infinite sequence, 
but neither *has to*.
