Your book related so-called hidden variable theory. It is considered dead
wrong for about a century.

Bernoulli trial is applicable to coin tossing because there are elementary
outcomes known to be independent.

That was the fist question I asked, what are elementary event in the
experiment of SW developing. How are they independent etc. You cannot apply
mathematical statistic without probability axioms satisfied. Until there is
no convincing explanation of how this could be done in the case of SW
development, all this is nothing but pseudo-scientific numerology.
