You vs. 4k Other Applicants

> How lucky? The chance of getting picked was 0.06% — 60 times worse than the odds of getting into Harvard, about twice as unlikely as catching a foul ball at a baseball game, and on par with having a birthday on February 29.

What kind of nonsense-comparison is this? It's apples-to-oranges because applicants apply to multiple jobs.

In contrast, nobody has a hundred (legitimate) applications to Harvard in a year, few will attend multiple baseball games every week, and nobody gets to constantly re-roll the date of their own birth!
