For my next New England Journal paper, I'm going to use a random number generator to simulate whether conditional, probabilistic health outcomes occurred or not.

I'll cycle through this thousands of times to obtain stable estimates, and then call this the Monte Carbocation method.

Incidentally, you'll also be able to use this technique to determine the area under a curve! Let's patent it together and get rich!

Let's trademark it and copyright it, too!

Now we just need to find a coder to implement our great idea.

No, it should be the "Las Vegas method"
