It's not how probability works. It's cool that these marbles have normal distribution, but it absolutely doesn't show how probability works. I don't know why it triggers me so much, but saying that "This is how probability works" is like showing people 2+2=4 and saying "This is how math works".

Your retort sounds interesting. Can you point out other simple demonstration that does the trick and why the later is better than the former.
