chance & decision

I gave up reading translations to Croatian language long time ago - generally they are unacceptable, poorly translated, poorly edited. The price for that is rather high because I miss the works on languages I don’t master.

Recently, however, one of them caught my eye with the title Kad slučajnost odlučuje (in English it would be When chance decides). I just couldn’t believe that the author, Amir D. Aczel, would put such a title. And, yes, the English original title is just Chance. Chance means absence of any cause of events that can be predicted, understood, or controlled and author gives suggestions how to make a decision when the only thing you know about the event is some probability. The decision is yours!

I consider unlikely the translator (Dušan Trbojević) doctored the title, more likely the editor (Damir Mikuličić) did it. Hey, Damir, remember the lectures on Statistical Physics?
