How Does the Law of Large Numbers Apply to Probabilistic Finality?

The law of large numbers implies that as the number of independent events (new blocks) increases, the probability of an extreme deviation (a successful chain re-organization) becomes extremely small. Each new block adds an independent layer of security, making the cost and difficulty of a successful attack converge toward infinity, ensuring practical finality.
