If we accept the theory that majority rules, I say that we can turn the
tables and see that .6% of all the possibilities are in fact - crap. Now
that's more like it in my opinion.

Conversely yours...

Hmm, I get 144 * .006 (.6%) = 0.864 which is less than one good way.  
Unless, of course, you consider alternate tunings, which raises the 
number of possible ways to play the tune in the first place, and 
therefore, the statistical possibility of finding a non-crappy way.
