What?

This is really basic stuff

My point is what?

I'm not trying to knock you

Yes. Basic and irrelevant

It's not irrelevant

It's quite important

You're acting as if sample size doesn't matter

that's clearly not the case

It matters to a point

It matters period

Depends on what you study

No. It doesnt matter period.

Yes, we only have so many resources to expend on it

Per the 100k vs. 10 mil example

But it's important to get a large sample size

Maybe. It certainly isnt some inviolable principle. Maybe it is useful.

10 mil will still give you a more accurate result than 100k

It doesnt make it MORE TRUE

10 mil vs. 100k in coinflips

It's not about being "more true" but more accurate

Will not give you a more accurate result

it will

More accurate what though

Than what you'd likely otherwise get just doing 100k

in other words

Hang on

sure thing

100k fully establishes a certain premise

it does

and that premise is valid

How can you get more accurate than 50 50

why do you assume you'll get a perfect 50/50 at 100k?

Will it become 50.0n1 on one side?

You likely won't

but you'll get close

You will.

and you'll get closer at 10 mil

Why stop at 10 mil

You believe someone will always flip exactly 50k of their 100k flips on heads every time they attempt it?

Go for broke
