"So the average distance between the ear and the centre of the human brain is 15 centimetres. The shooter was 120 metres away. The sine of the shooter's angle of error was 0.15/120 = 0.00125, the arcsine of 0.00125 (the value of the angle of error) was 0.0716 degrees.
So the angle of error would be about 0.07 degrees. And shooting is still affected by wind, speed and other factors.

So the fact that Trump survived is pure luck."
The math may be correct and I agree that a plan to knick someone's ear is not really a plan
But it's weird to make a claim like this with no sauce.
Which Mathematicians? Where?
One thing I could think of is maybe the sauce was liberal site and they didn't want to show that.
