That incorrect answer is a great example of why you should ask
platform-specific questions on a newsgroup devoted to the appropriate
platform.
How could a sentence with the adverb ``probably'' be
incorrect? FWIW, ``probably'' probably means ``with
likelihood (though not with certainty)'' (OED 1989, 1).
"The sky will probably be green tomorrow."
"Passing random values to free() will probably not cause any problems."
"The next C standard will probably add the Windows API as part of the
standard library."
You are probably not using ``probably'' in sense 1 of OED
(above) which according to my reading means ``I believe that
there is a likelihood but I am not certain that...'' so as long
as Jacob believes what he says he is correct. IMHO.
