Yes, that's the frequentist approach. Surely, even on HN, there is an understanding that there are two interpretations of probability?

You don't think that the probability of each side of a die is 1/6 ?

I see, you don't know what I'm talking about. My apologies, I assumed a common background. Here's some introductory materials on Bayesian vs frequentist interpretations of probability:

Bayesian and frequentist reasoning in plain English

Comparison of frequentist and Bayesian inference

You'll find that it's a big subject with a long history and many strongly-held opinions that have nevertheless evolved over the years. Happy reading!
