    All of the examples I mentioned are relevant.

    1. It's not because of the fact that the difference between one side of a coin and the other side cannot be 1.000.000.000 that it is impossible to force a coin into falling on a certain side more likely than on the other side... I was just exaggerating. Obviously, you missed the point I was making. You're saying I would be right if a coin like that existed, but then where do you draw the line? It CAN affect the coin when it's 2 times heavier, but it can't when it's 1% heavier?

    2. You seem to think there's a major difference between flipping a coin and (whatever) "flipping" a toast. What is the difference? A coin is smaller and most of the time round?

    3. An object will by definition fall on its heavier side more likely, no?

    4. You contradict yourself. First you're saying that the chances will still be 50% (I'm not gonna count the rim), even if one side were heavier. The next moment you're saying that a rolling coin will "more likeley" fall on its heavier side than a flipped coin would. Meaning that a flipped coin would too, just not as likely, thus proving your first statement to be wrong.
