Is it unlikely? If I didn't read your comment I wouldn't see any problem there. I never saw anyone flipping a coin in a different way. It's just not done much around me.

If you claim to do a research on coin tossing, the minimum is to be aware on how people toss coin.

The whole purpose of tossing a coin is randomness, so of course you want high and fast.

If the result was that no matter how high and fast you throw is you get this bias, it would have been interesting.

But now you just say "if you do things badly, things don't work".

No, the whole point of the paper (and the physics model it is verifying) is to see what happens in normal human coin tosses.

If you want to measure what happens specifically with high and fast coin tosses, then that’s an entirely different study to be done.

		I don't know what a normal human coin toss is. Does the paper contain evidence/argument to justify their way of flipping a coin as "normal"?

That still sound valuable if people generally tend to do it badly? If only to provide an argument for doing it properly.
