It seems to stem from the explainer not understanding the comic. The "Although I'm 99% sure" is not a part of the question that follows, although it is part of the same sentence. Dashes are used to insert one sentence into another--like this--without changing the original sentence's meaning. | It seems to stem from the explainer not understanding the comic.

Steve's comment could be rephrased as "I have a question, although I'm 99% certain that I know the answer. Is it SOH CAH TOA, or COH SAH TOA?

The comic also might be referencing a legend about how Trinity scientists came to Oppenheimer with their concern that the bomb might explode the world. He told them to run the math and if probability of destruction was under 1% they should still do the test (it was.) The comic implies then that the 1% probability has nothing to do with physics and is simply based on Steve's certainty about what Sine is.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.88.224|141.101.88.224]] 12:57, 1 June 2015 (UTC) | The comic also might be referencing a legend about how Trinity scientists came to Oppenheimer with their concern that the bomb might explode the world.
