But there are a lot more strings that will have a tail in it (infinite, or
infinite minus one if you like) than there are strings that are all heads,
randomly generated or otherwise. If randomly generated, we assume all
strings are equally likely, so the chance of never getting a tail gets it's
fair but minimal chance 1/infinity, which is a small number and therefore
an unlikely occurence.
