That's not the point.
Your 3 x 10
5 years starts from now (or at least, in a few months, when the collider hypothetically makes the black hole).
Neverfly's claim that we'd expect a GRB within 200,000 years does not imply that the previous one happened today - or when it occured at all.
Your reply to Neverfly implied that you think he implied GRB's occur every 100,000 years.
That's wrong, as the time between GRB's is not at all supplied or implied by Neverfly's statement.
I was not arguing about GRB's; I was pointing out that you were wrong to simply subtract 200,000 from 300,000, and then make the claim that Neverfly implied that GRB's occur every 100,000 years.
