The Independence Flag
Captions available
The idea
Multiplying chances assumes independence: the second event keeps its chance whatever the first did — fine when a ferry ignores a bicycle, false when events are connected.
In practice
Rain and umbrella-carrying are connected; multiplying their overall rates misprices mornings badly.
Where people slip
Every casual multiplication of chances carries this flag, checked or unchecked — check it.
