A string that is 6 inches long and one 7 inches long both have an infinite number of points, but if I put 80 of the 6 inch strings into a hat and 20 of the 7 inch ones and are blindfolded close and pick one out of the hat at random and asked to make a bet on which sort of string I picked I would place the odds at a 80% chance it would be 6 inches and 20% it would be 7 inches. And if I consistently played that game and used those odds I would soon make a lot of money.
