that was my point all such proofs are errors in maths. proofen to be wrong in the thrties. see the links i provided(turing is easier to understand for computer folks i guess).

too your last sentence. i simplify what i statet:

you can state(calculate): within x tries you will find y occurences of z with a probability of p. as long as x is finite if its infinite you can't. and yes you can be on the ods of the probability: the one who gets the whole night the same number(look at it as a special poem - instead shakspeare - consisting of always the same letter).

example:
the code "eat" has the same probability to occur as the term "www" or the term " ". and so
if you take 7 letters the term "weather" has the same probability to occur as the term "......."

at least his is how we usually define "random" wich is also just a man made definition.
