<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">The klal of ruba vechazaka, ruba adif seems to
run counter to the above statement. Rov is essentially another way of saying
likelihood. So it seems, chazaka is very dependant on likelihood. Why do we not
look to actuarial tables (ruba d’leisa lekaman) when the shaila comes to b”d,
establish a rov based on them and his age and say the rov governs – not the
chazaka? (In a sense this is a weaker form of RMB’s issue with BQ and the
“immpossible” 200 year old man.)</FONT></DIV>
