Anyway, the bottom line here is that you can't reasonably bet against cryonic preservation success at the kind of extreme odds you were proposing upthread. You wouldn't bet on any medical claim at odds anywhere near 100,000:1, even in the case that there was a lot of evidence against it (and there is none at all against cryonics - the skeptical argument is entirely based on hypothetical information carrying entities that may or may not actually exist).
If you still think 100,000:1 against is reasonable, imagine making 100,000 statements about medical controversies, and being wrong only once.
