For USB-A, it's usually not even 50/50. It's the witchcraft superposition when the first two tries don't work.

It always works the third time, 60 percent of the time.

Yeah, people don't take into account quantum positioning, pass-through phenomenon, or the fact that I can't "see" when I plug it in wrong and that makes me think maybe my fingers are dumb and I missed the hole and not that I need to reverse it and try again.

First try doesn't go in: oh I guess I have to flip it. Second try doesn't go in, fiddle it a bunch still doesn't go in. Fuck I had it the first time. Third try goes in immediately
