Doesn't regression mean that if 'heads' comes up more often than it should, eventually it will regress, and 'tails' will come up more to even it out?
Does this mean regression only exists if you are doing Infinity coin flips? If heads comes up a disproportionate amount of times, we can't expect tails to then come up, as each flip is independent... but we should at some point expect tails to come up in order for regression to be true. Right?
