I can understand how a very logic&#x2F;scientific mind could have difficulty with the concept of luck. Citing literature may not help.<p>Let&#x27;s say there&#x27;s some stochastic mechanics at work, randomness more than &#x27;luck&#x27;. Luck is the attribute of someone, when randomness is an attribute of events, which makes a big difference.<p>Of course I can understand people citing &#x27;luck&#x27; as necessary... but it&#x27;s more superstition than science.<p>All in all, it means you can&#x27;t really know for sure...
