If the chance isn't 0% that means it's possible!!

I wonder which anime started this cliche, because it's a favorite of mine.

    the real problem is that using a probability like "zero dot zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero one" is like saying a person is 1.8269024826158362 meters tall
  • it's like me in middle school, there's no such thing as significant figures, rounding is unacceptable even if not rounding will make me lose points

    Events with zero probability can actually happen and aren't even that difficult to produce.  Choose a random point on a continuous number line.  The probability of choosing any given point is zero, because there are infinite points -- but you do eventually pick one.

    Alternately, Fire Emblem would probably find several ways to kill you on a 0% hit because Fire Emblem hates you.

    EDIT: now that I think about it, there are auto-hit skills that can proc on a 0% attack...
