If there are two more heads in the sequence than there are tails, then the final point of the trajectory will be + 2 , independently of the path taken; and so on. So we have two separate pieces of information; one regarding the number of times a specific event occurs and the other is the point in time at which that event occurs. The rather innocuous observation, that in a very long sequence of independent tosses, the number of heads and tails should be equal, is the foundation of statistics and probability theory.
