Your answer “no” is either correct or incorrect. We have no way to even approximately establish which one it is. Therefore the probability of you being correct is 50%. As is being taught in schools, we always round up 50%. So it is actually 100%. So I believe you.

This is called a proof by 50%.

Proof: odd numbers suck, even numbers are clearly superior

Therefore, odd numbers can’t be perfect
