"However, it's still based on your actual luck, so it's not worth to bother with figuring out exactly how much you need for a certain percentage chance."

"Like I said, it's no point in figuring it out, since it's still based on your own luck. Figuring it out won't matter either way..."

Sorry but that reads as "it doesn't matter" regardless of any context to farming principles. People figure odds to determine the worthiness of their actions. Sure everyone understands that having the max is going to benefit you most but the point is wanting to know odds and values for his own computations.

Again I am not trying to argue just pointing out that odds do matter. Maybe not to you but to others for whatever reason. Just stating that everyone has a cost effective theory on events and they determine the worth of doing something often against the odds of accomplishing the action.

In a safety environment we would call it risk assessment. In a production environment we might call it a worth assessment. Do the odds now stack up to the level where my worth of time on it will pay me dividends?

But this has got all blown out of context. Lady Luck is as real as Santa Claus. And odds and numbers are where the world really exists. ;P
