In much the same way, even if it were more probable for brains to be disembodied, in the absence of any evidence we have to proceed on the assumption that all brains are in bodies.
Although it is more probable for colluders to have common parts of the tasks, these common parts are smaller.
Thus, if the fluctuation shown in the contrast intensity is only due to the constituent atoms on the plane, it is more probable for the vacancy to originate from a vacant Al site rather than a vacant Mg site.
When the absolute size of allowed memory is too small, it is more probable for GSMA* to throw away an important node at the beginning of the tree expansion.

While it may be more probable for a universe to be younger, it is very improbable that a universe only a second old would contain trillions of exactly parallel lines of evidence, all showing it to be about 15 billion years old.
Re "Big Brain Theory: Have Cosmologists Lost Theirs?" (Jan . 15: Dennis Overbye raises the issue of Boltzmann's argument as to why it is not more probable for the universe to be only a second old — or to contain disembodied brains.
It is unlikely for selection to act uniformly across a gene over evolutionary time, but more probable for it to occur at specific sites based on their functional role.
