Yeah I think ep's trolling now. He's saying two things essentially: 1) the laws of probability only work if you assume that the person doesn't have a way to make them not work (I don't know what this could possibly mean... esp? X-ray vision?) and 2) it's rude of us to want him to have a better chance of winning because the comfort he gets from going with his gut is worth more than 1/3*((value of car)-(value of goat)).

I refuse to believe anyone could seriously propound those two viewpoints consecutively

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
