[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "TWO 80% effective shields add up to 96%, and FOUR add up to 100%." That maths is horrible. And wrong. Probability is not a sure thing. That's why it's called probability. If you flip a coin, it's got a 50% chance of landing on a head. That doesn't mean if you flip it 100 times, you'll get heads 50 times. There's a chance, however small, of getting 100 tails. Likewise, with an 80& effectiveness rate, there's still a chance of a missle hitting. The only way you could stop that happening would be with a 100% effectiveness rate. And, given chaos theory and all the things that can go wrong, that's pretty much impossible. [/QB][/QUOTE]
