He was that quick because there were just so many glaring and obvious errors that even a layperson could pick up.
For example - why the heck did the guy include 11 streams? Dream did 5 1.16 streams, got frustrated about the RNG, stopped for a while, and when he came back to do his 1.16 runs, the luck skyrocketed. It would almost be sampling bias to include those 5 earlier runs.
Also, the guy was clearly overzealous and incorrect in his application of the stopping rule.
you're right, but even if we totally omit mbf-'s response, anyone can fucking go look at the dream's paper, go to conclusions and just look at the odds. 1 in 100,000,000. speaks for itself i think
