Prob(s.n1) = Prob(s.n2) = 0.
Whoops, that should be
Prob( (s+n1+n2)^2 ) = Prob(s^2 + n1^2 + n2^2 + 2.n1.n2 + 2.s.n1 +
2.s.n2) (I should have counted that there are 9 terms altogether on
the right hand side :-).
But the average of ( n1.n2 ) = 0 implies that the average of
( 2.n1.n2 ) is also identically zero, etc...
