The logician hasn’t reasoned correctly, he isn’t using the fact that we know the subject has been struck by lightning. Statistics show that 10% of the people who are struck by lightning die as a result, which is much higher than the chances of a randomly selected person being struck by lightning. It is true that a person selected from the total population pool has a very small chance of being struck by lightning, and since not everyone who is struck by lightning dies as a result the randomly selected person has even less of a chance of dying as a result of a lightning strike – but in this case the subject isn’t part of the general population, he is part of the small pool of people who have been hit by lightning.
