Remember, the proposition was, the probability of not getting your meal on a flight is independent of the number of passengers on that flight, ceteris paribus.
His experiment certainly is based on probabilities. As the number of samples goes up, the more likely the true probability will be represented in the results.
You're proposing to do a one-time experiment and then use anecdotal evidence to settle the question. Not exactly a statistically valid proposal.
