I find such statements frightening. Too many people can not tell the different between prevalence ("everybody does it") and factually correct.

The whole "stochastic means to find factual correctness" thing is an error of method, arguing about weights here is nonsense.

It isn't though, the most factually correct human expert is also stochastic. The only question is how the dice are weighted.
