Just ask any cryptographer.
Seems like our posts crossed to say the exact same thing haha
Now I understand why you two are hated here, you're extremists. They're using probabilities, they're not claiming that from a prefix they know where another will be. It still seems not very useful to me, But perhaps it's the best way to try their luck.
I would not say I’m hated here but maybe I’m oblivious.
I think your sentence kinda contradicts itself though, or did I misunderstand ?
They are using probabilities of prefix occurrences to predict where other prefixes are.
I’m not telling them not to, I’m merely saying it gives no statistical edge. I don’t think having an opinion and backing it with math and empirical proofs is being an extremist, but again I might be oblivious
