What the article says around this equation
The first quantity rises quickly toward one as k grows, which is the intuitive but misleading sense in which “just try again” seems to fix unreliability. The second quantity falls quickly toward zero, and it is the quantity that matters if a task must be completed correctly on a specific occasion rather than merely being solvable in principle across several attempts.
