    Given the non-intuitive equations of probability and the inherent
    impreciseness of the English language, what is the probability that
    the intersection of the two forms of communication will result in
    a societal consensus?

    (Hint: the answer is *not* 2/3!) :-)

It is intuitively obvious that in the long term the answer is 1/2!!  :-)
