do you have any idea of what success rate you would be looking at there? 99% 50% 10%?
Meh, the ~90% success rate kills that purpose for me.
Looks like you have a roughly ten percent success rate. Sounds reasonable.
That's a pretty low failure rate then
It's a 70% failure rate, not success rate.
Wondering if ever more than 10% actually succeed...
95% success rate is actually a bit lower than I realized, and is somewhat scary.
Well 50% success rate isn't too bad.
That is a shockingly high success rate. It seems like 75% when I would have guessed 20%
