No ... simply pointing out that conflating it with the Gambler's Fallacy leads to erroneous conclusions.

However, as an aside, do not mistake Maths for some universal truth or constant.

It is not.

It is a language, like any other, and subject to the limitations that apply to all such: it describes that which it may describe, how it may, not everything in every way. Just as the Himba people cannot see blue, Maths cannot describe certain phenomena either — the Universe is not Maths any more than it is English, even though I may describe it with both languages. Gödel pointed this out beautifully by using the language of Maths to prove its own limitations and that those limitations were, furthermore, universal to any language (including that of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, you name it).
