Dinner with a hot chick? What Uncle Al needs most of all is a good
psychiatrist.

Consider 3 trials of a random variable { X | H, T } .

The result is no different than a single trial of the random variable
{ X | HHH, HHT, HTT, THH, THT, TTT, HTH, TTH } .


How do we get back and forth from one to the other ? How to we make
the conversion ? How to perform such a transform ? Obviously these
things are equivalent, but how to do it without the hand wave ?

the first has 3 events, the second has just one event.
the first is has 2 states, the second has 8.

The results can be the same, does not imply the process is the same.

The first can be a coin, the second is an 8 sided thingie.

by moving eyes around from one to the other.

trivial, you did it

they are not the same.

I didnt read anything that this person wrote, in fact I covered it up
with a piece of paper on my screen to censor any possible words from
reaching my eyes. An opaque paper.

how did you know to cover your eyes and not read it?
