I wrote “take $1 from 10k randomly selected people and give that $10k it to one randomly selected person”. Reading it back this implies you use the same distribution for both selections, but it sounds like that’s not how you read it? How would you phrase this idea differently?
Ooops, I actually didn’t mean to post that! Usually when I’m making an obvious criticism, after I write it I go back and double-check that I haven’t missed or misinterpreted something, and I noticed that and meant to delete the unposted comment. I guess I must have hit enter at some point.
