Does the frequentist view really claim that infinite sequence nx/n always converges, for all possible runs? That is obviously false. The laws of large numbers only state that probability that the limit of nx/n is equal to 1/2 is 1. This is because all sequences are equally probable and there are overwhelmingly many more sequences that limit to 1/2 than sequences that do not. That is different from saying that the limit is always equal to 1/2, because there are these exceptional cases of low measure like HHHHH..., HTTHTTHTT...
