RE: Probability?

Yes, Why But Why explained it like that as well, I've already heard it. And that would be a good argument if I believed it best to rely on probability in this case, which I don't and I explained why.

I wouldn't switch not because of one option making more sense than the other, but purely because of my intuition - since I don't think reason will help you in that situation at all.
