Since Proof-by-Assertion seems to be allowable in this line of
discussion, I'll have a go:

> What are the odds against Ron being correct on fewer than five of 116 counts?

Lesse now, hmmmm, unscrambling the double negative, odds "against ...
Ron ... correct [about...] fewer than 5" would be the same as the odds
*for* Ron correct about 5-or-more, which is zero.

(In case it isn't clear, I'm ridiculing the notion of using such silly
"odds" calculations to prove or disprove the validity of anything at all.)

(And by the way, this satirist is improving.  I didn't take *this*
 posting seriously for even a moment.)
