    That’s so many nested assumptions, lol:

    Assumption table

    1. Graduate student in academia
    2. Running a simulation for data
    3. For a conference
    4. Haskell

    The probability value of all four being true simultaneously approaches ≈0%

    Don’t forget the sheer, mind-destroying size of the universe, and its age.

      I mean, if it’s really a simulation, all of that would be… simulated.
