Nothing to check

Encounters that check nothing

Not a risk. A share, and it is computable.

8 notes in this part

A blind content holds no checkable statement. The count is a binomial coefficient and the share falls as a reader gets further through a set.

Definition

In nearly three shapes in five a reader can finish having met nothing they could check. The condition is a comparison of two integers.

Recount

Half the shapes here have a blind share at or below one in fourteen: exact, a property of the table, and the least transferable figure in it.

Caution

In one hundred and thirty-nine shapes no reader can come away with nothing to check, and no assumption about readers can disturb the reason.

Reference

With nothing checkable published every encounter is blind. One such shape sits on every page, which is why the count equals the page count.

Reference

Each verifiable statement added multiplies the blind count by a harsher fraction. The first addition helps least, the last one ends the question.

Recount

The blind share counts possibilities, not likelihoods. Reading it as a probability needs an assumption the record declares and does not make.

Caution

The blind figure answers one question and four others get mistaken for it. Closing the part by separating what it covers from what it is asked.
