That acts as a loophole...

Hym Iam "But a semantic distinction that acts a loophole and allows you circumvent the contract constitutes and Imaginary Caveat and does not apply. You have fail to make a concerted effort. The pantomime isn't going to work."

Taleb Distribution Theory

The informal name for the class of probability distributions that characterize Taleb's worldview—distributions with fat tails, where extreme events dominate, where the sample mean is unstable, where the future is unpredictable. Taleb Distribution Theory argues that most real-world phenomena follow such distributions, not the thin-tailed normal distribution taught in statistics classes. In a Taleb distribution, a single observation can change the mean; history is made by outliers; the typical is irrelevant. The theory is the mathematical foundation of the Black Swan worldview, the proof that we live in a world where what we don't know matters more than what we do. It's statistics for a world that defies statistics.

Example: "He'd been trained on normal distributions, where means are stable and outliers are rare. Taleb Distribution Theory showed him a different world: where one event can change everything, where what you haven't seen matters more than what you have. His old tools were useless here. He had to learn new ones—or be crushed by the next Black Swan."
