Patterson gets everything wrong....
Just to the right of the stickman, shortens the distance for a controled throw but makes it very easy for the stickman to "knock-off" the throw, before the dice stop, and call, "no-dice!"
This is typical:
In the past he has:
Come up with TARGET which claims all streaks extrapolate (without cause---with some CSMs there may be cause so naturally there is just silence from JP).
Claimed clumping is bad in general---clumping in general, where it means like cards cling together, actually turns out to benefit players.
Claimed aces are bad for the player because they cut down on dealer busts---hello somebody forget blackjacks pay a bonus??
Done groundbreaking work on tracking and then used it to avoid aces---see imeadiate above.
I will end with the infamous claims of the non-existant correlation of player smoking habits and results. But there is more to add I am sure.
So a little flood, despite massive collateral damage, might not be all bad! We would loose the Imperial Valley, screwup baja and Palm Springs (backflooding) and dry out Las Vegas, and loose the best pocket of good single deck games remaining in the US, but there would be the silver lining....
