alt Hacker News> This reminded me of Roger Federer, who has won 82% of all matches but only 54% of all points.
This is in large part just a function of the way the rules of tennis work. e.g. consider gambling games, where there are games where the house only has a 1% edge, but if you play long enough, the casino will get 100% of your money.
Yeah and that’s the point of the article I think. If you never swing your can’t never hit.
And I added the notion that even if you miss almost half of your swings you can still win big time.
