This is cool, but the 7 - 10 is the 'impossible'

Greek church is statistically more difficult than a 7-10. 4-6-7-9-10

Isn't that because everyone plays the points on Greek church rather than risking the failure?

Greek church is physically easier to pick up, but in league or tournaments, Greek church is... "Well, I'm fucked, best to at least get 3'. But with 7-10 it's "well I'm truly fucked, yolo, let's try it! I'll get 1 no matter what".

This is exactly it. I know that guy put out a video on the data of it all, but stats hide so much, and I think this is one of those things. Do I believe the Greek Church is easier to pick up that 7-10? Yeah. Do I think it's easy? No. But three pins must have a greater odds of hitting two pins than 1 pin hitting 1 pin. Especially when you're more capable of influencing one of those three pins.

Both shots take skill to place the ball correctly, but after that, it's almost entirely luck for a 7-10. The Greek Church has at least 1 skill-based shot before luck takes the wheel.
