It's like: Suppose I have a coin that I think is probably a fair coin, after all it's probably just a normal coin. I flip that coin 10 times in a row and it comes up heads every time. Was it a fair coin?

 

Well if it were a fair coin, that result would happen only about 1/1000 of the times I did the experiment of flipping it 10 times. That's quite a few "standard deviations" from the assumed mean of 50% heads (5 heads, 5 tails out of 10 flips).

 

So I might really start asking serious questions about the fairness of the coin. It might be imprudent to continue assuming it's fair without more investigation.
