But hey, how about the salt that is sweat out and used for a number of body-functions. On the Kontiki expedition, they calculated that if they did not eat any salt in the food, they could add 1/3 ocean water to they drinking water.
I read in a runners magazine years ago that one's sweat is less salty than one's blood. This was in the course of recommending against electrolyte drinks.

This implies a 50% chance that a randomly generated statement is true, which--without getting into the weeds on the generative model--is certainly false.
For example, I can generate random statements of the form "I am X years old" for X \in {1, ..., 100}.
Far from a 50% chance that the statement is factually correct.

No, that very much depends on the weeds of the generative model. I can generate random statements of the form "I am not X years old" for X \in {1, ..., 100}.
Also far from a 50% chance that the statement is correct.

If you limit to true/false statements, it is 0.5
