I'm not saying Loke is right, but the median hit model is just an approximation; comparing it with coin flipping is somewhat disingenuous. There are so many variables that could account for a difference (for example the particular AC/implementation of P1999, especially because I am almost certain it isn't classic or the relatively higher level of mobs that our highly twinked playerbase fights at low levels) that I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss experience. Ultimately you need an experiment.
