The question was

Which sword and armor combination do you choose, and why?

My point was that you can't say mixed strategy to the first question, although it is a valid answer to the second part.

You could say yellow/yellow, because that was the value selected by my RNG using the mixed strategy distribution Z.

But yes I was being imprecise with my language, I'm a little rusty. I'll fix once I have had some sleep.
