When we sample a histogram, I think there are ... Some number of total ways to do it. The poptotal. So there are poptotal total options for the first sample and poptotal^samptotal total sampled histograms: and many of those histograms are identical, indicating they are more probable. I am definitely making a number of weighted choices repeatedly. I am _so_ _confused_ and I don't understand the confusion. Usually when confused I find ways to continue. The goal is: discern how accurately it is reasonable to measure the most likely choice of population histogram given a sample, and do so. To meet a goal we need steps to reach it.
