Do you also think it's reasonable to infer a lottery number designer when someone wins? Some fine tuner of lottery numbers..setting up just so, in order that Ms. Sally Mae Parks of Wichita Falls wins the jackpot?
What are you talking about? As in my example of billions of white balls and one black ball in a drawing and I not only see the black ball come down the shoot, but it does so 5 times in a row in 5 subsequent drawings, I think it very reasonable to infer that it was fixed.
How many universes have you seen, again?
In any case, "I think it's reasonable to infer that it was fixed" is not a rational inference, nor is "fixing" something that only a designer can do. Points for being consistently less than rational, I guess?
