    Simple math for you,

    LeBron taking over the series and leading his team past Detroit into the Finals with his "heroics" = $$$$$$$$

    my master's is in math.


    Probability of a conspiracy falling apart decreases with the number of participants in the conspiracy (compound probability)

    Consider it in the following manner (as discrete probability where 1 = conspiracy and 0 = no conspiracy) . and Suppose that for each number, x, of participants in the conspiracy, the probability of the conspiracy being successful is alpha raised to the power x where alpha represents the probability of a conspiracy with only a single participant (without falling apart, ie successfully keeping the conspiracy).

    Now, 0 < alpha < 1. So, the limit as x approaches infinity of alpha raised to the x power is 0.


    But this conspiracy requires a lot of particpants.
    Therefore, this conspiracy has a relatively low probability.
