I agree with Alicorn - a probability of 0 or 1 can only be legitimately used as hyperbole.
(There's a technical explanation for why to exclude probabilities of 0 and 1, but it assumes you have studied and understood Bayes theorem and know how to think about probabilities in real life in Bayes terms.)
