M, but that doesn't seem to be what SamAdams said. He didn't just say the probability was low enough for it to not be worth it, he said "There is a total lack of evidence in support of resurrecting a frozen human because its never been done and as of now nobody knows if it is even possible." Admittedly, he did say immediately afterward, "So essentially cryonics is a way to spend money on a one in a million chance you might be revived in the future. " So that seems to be a little inconsistent? I would think that if things really were as he described before, one in a million would be quite an overestimate.
