There are several areas of quantum mechanics where the existance of a virtual interaction precludes or modifies other interactions. But it may suprise you to know that such areas do not necessarily involve things like wavefunctions or the Pauli exclussion principle, but "ordinary" statistics instead.
Very ordinary statistics does absolutely state that:
The exclusion of excedingly rare events in a population sampling, does modify such sampling, even in data population sizes too small for those rare events to be observed.
And if your population has become rather small to exclude such things as getting 24 aces because there are only 23 cards left, well that is an example of the above.
And that is the only valid mechanism whereby basic strategy edge would rise with penetration, and it is so small that there may not be enough computers or time, even today, to simulate it enough to prove it.
Well I did promise to restate the exception to my criticisms of FA claims. Not much huh?
