A call was put in to the Diction Nazi, who grumbled a bit about a few things: the vagaries of the English language being one of them...er...most of them.
While you are most correct with regards to the connotation of the word "sure," Serge, the sentence as it is constructed states that Sin is "certain" of a "probablity."
Put another way...I wouldn't advise anyone betting the farm that they were getting any.
But, somebody might.
