"Of all the trillions of possible people who could have come into existence and assessed the odds, every one of those who is in a position to assess the odds is unlucky whereas there exists nobody whom the odds favoured. One hundred per cent of assessors are unlucky, and nought per cent are lucky. In other words, given procreation there was an excellent chance that somebody would be harmed, and although the chances of any person coming into existence are small, the chances of any existing person having been harmed are one hundred per cent."
