Some believe that things are rigged against them and some believe that over all things even out.
Remember the post sometime back about the missing hot dog when I shopped from aldi? Well, today, brand new month, I did my routine. That routine being shopping for groceries, using my vaccum sealer to separate the items and seal them up. So, today I bought a pack of hamburger patties. Supposedly, a dozen to a pack. But after the vaccuming, I notice an odd amount. After counting, I had 13 patties instead of 12.
I suppose the question is what type of quantity control do the manufactures use?
About evening out or not, I remember reading the book "Days of Grace" by the late tennis player Arthur Ashe. His view was that all the bad calls the umpires make, overall they even out. Bad breaks = lucky breaks. But when he'd tell that to McEnroe, McEnroe would go on a rant.."You cannot be serious..etc."
