That's true, Cheese/KoC, but it in part makes Schur's statement worse, as people don't generally pick random numbers that end in 0.

"[I]f you ask a thousand people to name a number between one and a million, 16 of them are all gonna say '4,520.' That’s not statistically accurate, don’t check my math on that."

I'm really not sure what Schur was thinking with that answer — maybe he was confused because 10-choose-2 uses 10! in its formula, i.e. 10!/(2!*8!)? But 10! isn't even anywhere close to the number of groups *of any size* that can be pulled from 10 people, which is 2^10-1=1023.

You know what makes that song? It's that blasted Db/Ab chord that begins the refrain. I'm sure there are counterexamples, but I can't think of another pop song that starts its chorus with a I/V and refuses to resolve it for two full measures. (And when it does semi-resolve it with the next chord change, it's to a 7th…
