sessions do exist

I see a lot of people stating that sessions don't exist in gambling or that they are illusory.
The ball does not recognise the passage of time, does not recognise a new session beginning, etc.
I think the problem is everyone is applying the term "session" to the wrong participant. The casino game is not the participant. That is an inanimate object and in no other subject would someone attempt such a ludicrous suggestion. Sessions do exist because the participant is the person/gambler.
Replace any casino game with any other inanimate object and you see how ridiculous it is.
I will have a flying session on Monday with a cessna. I will have another session on Friday. In between, the cessna will be used for three other sessions with two other people. I am fooling myself when I state I am having my second flying session on friday because sessions are illusory. WHAT?
The roulette tables do not have sessions, it is the people who play at them, just as an airplane does not have sessions, it is the people who are flying them. We take the plane for a session. We go at the games for a session.
The term session almost always applies to the people, not inanimate objects. Congress goes for a session, it is the congressman, not their seats or the building they convene in.
My point is that gamblers can go on gambling sessions and they are not illusory. Results from one session do not have an effect on the next and the balls, dice etc, are unaware of these "sessions" but for practical purposes, they do exist.

I vote yes with you on your thoughts.
This will be an interesting and very opinionated thread.
I see sessions as chapters in a book.
I do not believe the EV ALWAYS wins out in any session or combination of sessions.
The law of large numbers applies more to casinos than to it's gamblers.

Gee, I should have made this a poll.
Wizard, is there any way to add that now?

No. You could always just start over and make it a poll.
