I don't understand what "the probability of" means here. Does the probability of 10^-31 mean that if we construct the integers in a different way, it might result in the theorem being false? Or is it that if you change the equation there is only at 10^-31 probability that you arrive at a theorem which is false/true? Or something else altogether.


See my other comment here for how I understood it. Note "for any N > N0 = 100" in the article.
