Constant,

I see that I misinterpreted your "proportion or fraction" terminology as referring to outcomes, whereas you were actually referring to a labeling of the phase space of the system. In order to figure out if we're really disagreeing about anything substantive, I have to ask this question -- in your view, what is the role of initial conditions in determining (a) the "objective probability" and (b) the observed frequencies?
