There are a whole lot of different likelihoods to consider here so it gets complicated. The first thing is the likelihood that the results of a...
It's called a spellf**ker.
Could well be. I have looked at several parts of the video and it seems to show a reasonably intelligent group of professionals led by a speaker...
