The Importance of Randomness in Basketball

The air war initially went quite badly for israel because of the unexpectedly good performance of egyptian ground to air missiles. Losses were high, and they appeared to be unevenly distributed. I was told of two squadrons flying from the same base, one of which had lost four planes, while the other had lost none. An inquiry was initiated in the hope of learning what it was that the unfortunate squadron was doing wrong. My advice was that the commands should accept that the different outcomes were due to blind luck.
