I was serious that the probability of an explicitly described situation is orders of magnitude greater than the probability of a not-yet-chosen random scenario. In the same way the probability of any particular hundred digit number, once someone posts it online, will be orders of magnitude more likely to appear elsewhere.
But I was joking in the “complaint” about the posting, because the probability both before and after the post is small enough that no reasonable person could worry about the thing happening.
