: The usual meaning: In a coin flip (with a "perfect" coin and a
: sufficiently "random" flipping technique), heads and tails are
: equally probable. However, the flip cannot simultaneously return both
: heads and tails.
Yeah, I rewrote my comment numerous times, but decided to leave it with a clarification in the brackets - about existing simultaneously (equally true). I wasn't positive what the initial point from scarab was about equally probable - since if two positions can neither be proven nor disproven, then they are technically equally probable (or improbable), however the moment one is known to be true, the other becomes false. I took the position he was meaning equally true - which would be the fallacy if they are necessarily contrary to each other. *shrug*
