Better than chance? What chance?
Sorry, "Better than chance" is an english phrase than tends to mean more than 50%.
It assumes an even chance of each outcome. I.e. do better than selecting randomly.
Not appropriate in this context, my brain didn't think of the wider implications as it wrote it.
It's easy to do better than random. *Pours himself a cup of tea.*
