Re:The sisters "paradox" – counter-intuitive probability by LegionMammal978 on Thursday August 28, 2025 @07:08PM (#45058047)
That's a good framing. It's similar to the fact that the chance of a given star being in a multiple system (~47% in our vicinity [0]) is significantly higher than the chance of a given system having multiple stars (~30%), because counting by individual stars gives more weight to the multiple systems.
