Is this like statistics mumbo-jumbo or something that everyone is saying? It makes about as much sense as that scene from 21 with the 3 doors and he says that his odds of having the right door after one of the 3 is revealed is then magically 66%.

I guess Calculus doesn't help with understanding beyond the most basic probability.
