Probably is so difficult to reason about.
Example 1:
It is very improbable that you catch covid-19 if you are careful
and conservative in your actions.
It is probable that you catch covid-19 if you regularly interact
with other people that are not as careful as yourself, or if you
simply isn't aware that they were recently on a long vacation
trip.
E.g. larger teams, or library authors that might only use one
compiler on one platform.
Example 2:
It is probable that you find the source of a bug in a well
structured program (no code smell).
It is improbable that at program will remain well structured over
time (older programs always smell).
