If character formation is path-dependent and cumulative, the probability of acceptance need not remain constant at .5 but may approach zero asymptotically, defeating the infinite-opportunity convergence argument.

(The overarching argumentative strategy under discussion.)
An argument that contractualism and consequentialism converge on the same verdicts, specifically by showing that individuals cannot reasonably reject optimific principles.
path-dependent(describes how clock differences accumulate based on the specific path taken)
A situation where the outcome depends on the specific history of events that led to it, not just the starting and ending points—like how the total distance traveled matters, not just where you started and ended up.
probability(as used in mathematics and logic)
A number between 0 and 1 that describes how likely something is to happen; 0.5 means 50% chance, 1 means certain, 0 means impossible.
