Just because I'm curious, what probability would you assign to your hypothesis being correct?

50%. And I'd only do it when I'm irritated. The irritation means they don't care about the answer.

EDIT: Sorry, I mean 50% probability that they won't notice I'm talking nonsense. I don't want to assign a probability to the underlying hypothesis.
