Failing on that same 1-2 % chance soo many times is impossible! nobody can be that unlucky!
Starting a craft with all NQ materials puts HQ chance at 1%.

I do think we remember the failures more often than the successes, and that sticks with our bias. I know for a fact that I've produced HQ many times off of low percentages before, but those don't stick with me as long as a 95/98% NQ that I'll be stewing over for a while, especially if it was an important craft.

Ya'll gotta learn to control ya'll biases.
