" First off, mathematics mean absolutely nothing to me in a game of dice."

As a stats major, this comment is completely baffling to me.

When Han said "Never tell me the odds", it didn't mean that he didn't believe math exists. It meant he was incredibly skilled and could pull off feats that most wouldn't be able to do. He probably worked out the efficiency of individual parts and picked the best ones for the Falcon (with surprises of course, but then they wouldn't be inferior), but he would never choose inferior parts because "lol, maths don't matter". Nor would he take the 2s and 12s in Catan to psyche out his enemies.
